A lively, hand-drawn print face with brush-like strokes that taper into sharp, triangular terminals. Letterforms are compact and relatively narrow, with an uneven, organic rhythm and subtly irregular proportions that preserve a handmade feel. Curves are smooth but often finish in pointed ends, while verticals can swell and pinch, creating a clear stroke-direction impression. Uppercase forms are expressive and slightly idiosyncratic, and the lowercase keeps a modest x-height with open counters and simple, unconnected construction.
Best suited to display settings where its handmade texture and pointed brush terminals can be appreciated—such as book covers, posters, product packaging, event promos, and greeting cards. It can also work for short bursts of text (captions, pull quotes, or UI accents) when a playful, crafted voice is desired and sizes are generous enough to keep the fine tapers clear.
The overall tone is playful and slightly mischievous, suggesting a whimsical, storybook mood rather than formal writing. The spiky terminals and animated stroke energy give it a crafty, decorative personality that feels handmade and characterful.
The design appears intended to deliver an informal, hand-rendered print look with a brush-pen flavor—balancing readable letter shapes with expressive terminals and lively stroke modulation. It prioritizes personality and decorative rhythm over strict typographic regularity, aiming for a friendly, illustrative voice in display typography.
Round letters like O and Q read cleanly, while several capitals (notably M, N, W, and X) lean into dramatic, brush-cut angles for extra flair. Numerals keep the same tapered, calligraphic energy, with distinctive curves and pointed joins that make them feel illustrative rather than strictly utilitarian.
