A tall, condensed hand-drawn roman with lively, uneven stroke modulation and abrupt, inked terminals. Letterforms are mostly upright but slightly elastic, mixing narrow vertical stems with occasional widened bowls and bulb-like joins, which creates a variable, animated rhythm across words. The contrast reads as calligraphic rather than mechanical: hairline connections and flared strokes sit beside thicker verticals, with small wedge- and spur-like serifs appearing inconsistently in a deliberately informal way. Curves are smooth but not perfectly symmetrical, and proportions skew narrow with compact counters and a notably low lowercase presence against the long ascenders.
Best suited to display roles where its narrow footprint and expressive stroke endings can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book covers, product packaging, and branding accents. It can also work for short pull quotes or menu headings where a whimsical, handcrafted voice is desired.
The overall tone is quirky and characterful—more storybook and boutique than formal editorial. Its hand-inked quirks and spiky little serifs give it a slightly mischievous, vintage-carnival charm while still reading clearly at display sizes.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering in a tall condensed style, pairing calligraphic contrast with informal, slightly irregular detailing. The goal seems to be a distinctive, personality-forward text voice that remains legible while feeling handmade and charmingly imperfect.
Caps are especially tall and slender, and the font shows noticeable glyph-to-glyph idiosyncrasies (e.g., varying serif treatment and stroke endings) that enhance the handwritten impression. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast logic, with a light, airy feel in the round forms and sharper turns in the straighter figures.
