A tall, spindly display face with narrow proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtle contrast and frequent flared, wedge-like terminals that mimic a pen or brush lifting off the page. Curves are slightly irregular and counters tend to be small and vertical, giving the alphabet a wiry, stretched silhouette. Capitals are particularly elongated, while lowercase forms stay compact with a small x-height and long ascenders/descenders; figures are similarly slim and open.
Best suited to short, expressive text such as headlines, poster copy, book or game titles, packaging callouts, and invitations where personality is more important than neutrality. It can also work for pull quotes or signage in themed contexts, but is less appropriate for dense body text due to its narrow, high-strung texture and decorative terminals.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a hand-drawn, storybook sensibility. Its irregularities and sharp little flares create a comedic, slightly spooky-fun energy that reads as intentionally odd rather than formal.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, one-off voice: tall, wiry letterforms with playful irregularity and pen-like terminals that instantly signal character. It prioritizes charm and surprise over typographic restraint, aiming for memorable display impact.
The design leans on distinctive character shapes—especially in the capitals and numerals—so it attracts attention quickly. The narrow fit and delicate strokes suggest it works best when given room to breathe, with generous tracking and line spacing.
