A slim, hand-drawn print face with tall proportions and a lightly wobbly baseline. Strokes are thin with subtle contrast and visibly organic terminals that sometimes taper or flare, giving a slightly sketchy, inked feel. Curves are open and rounded, while many verticals are long and straight, creating a spindly silhouette; widths vary from glyph to glyph, adding an informal rhythm. Spacing reads fairly open in text, and the overall texture is light and airy rather than dense.
Works best for short display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and book or album covers where its handmade personality can be appreciated. It can also suit greeting cards, classroom materials, and casual branding that benefits from an informal, friendly voice. For longer text, it’s most effective at comfortable sizes with generous leading to accommodate the tall ascenders and descenders.
The tone is casual and friendly, with a quirky, storybook-like charm. Its uneven, human cadence feels approachable and a bit mischievous, suggesting hand lettering rather than engineered typography. The tall, narrow forms lend it a whimsical, slightly eccentric character that stands out without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of quick hand lettering in an unconnected print style, prioritizing personality and human variation over strict uniformity. Its narrow, tall proportions and airy stroke weight aim to keep text feeling light and animated while maintaining clear letter identities.
Uppercase forms tend to be narrow and elongated, with simplified constructions that emphasize gesture over strict geometry. Descenders (notably in letters like g, j, p, q, y) are long and contribute to the font’s lively vertical movement. Numerals share the same hand-drawn logic, staying slender and lightly irregular for visual consistency.
