A hand-drawn print face with a narrow overall set and lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show modest contrast with tapered terminals and occasional spiky, serif-like flicks, giving letters a lightly calligraphic edge without connecting. Proportions are tall and compact, with notably small lowercase relative to prominent ascenders and descenders; counters are tight and shapes vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, sketched feel. Numerals follow the same narrow, tapered construction, with simple forms and small finishing hooks.
Well-suited to display settings such as book covers, posters, packaging, and short headlines where its hand-rendered personality can be the focal point. It also fits playful or fantasy-leaning interfaces (e.g., games) and themed materials where an informal, illustrated tone is desired.
The font reads mischievous and storybook-like, blending a friendly handwritten charm with a slightly eerie, quirky twist. Its irregularity and sharp little terminals add personality and movement, making text feel animated rather than formal.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-lettered display typography with a consistent yet intentionally imperfect draw, using narrow proportions and tapered, serif-like flicks to add flair and narrative character.
Uppercase forms carry the most character, with decorative curves and occasional looped or flared strokes that stand out in headings. In longer samples, the compact lowercase and narrow spacing create a dense texture, so the face feels most comfortable when given room through size or line spacing.
