A tall, condensed handwritten print with clean, tapered strokes and subtle contrast that feels drawn with a quick, controlled pen. The letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with slightly irregular widths and lively curves that keep the rhythm from feeling mechanical. Terminals often end in pointed or softly flared tips, and bowls and counters are compact, giving the font a tightly knit texture. The lowercase is small relative to the ascenders, contributing to a vertical, slightly jittery line color in text.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed, handwritten character can be appreciated—headlines, book or magazine titling, posters, pull quotes, and packaging with a crafted tone. It can work in short text passages at comfortable sizes, but the compact counters and tall proportions make it more effective for larger sizes and modest line lengths.
The overall tone is quirky and literary, mixing a neat handwritten feel with a touch of vintage charm. It reads as personable and lightly eccentric rather than formal, suggesting an expressive voice that can be playful without becoming messy.
The design appears intended to capture an informal, hand-lettered print style that remains tidy and legible while retaining human variation. Its narrow, vertical build and tapered details suggest a focus on expressive editorial and branding uses where a distinctive, personable voice is needed.
Capitals are especially slender and linear, while rounded letters (like O, C, and S) keep a hand-drawn tension through slightly uneven curves and sharp-ish joins. Numerals follow the same narrow, pen-drawn logic, with simple, airy forms that stay consistent with the alphabet.
