A narrow, hand-drawn print face with lively, slightly irregular strokes and a subtle brush-pen texture. Letterforms lean mostly upright but show gentle waviness in stems and curves, with tapered terminals and occasional flared ends that suggest quick, confident strokes. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating an uneven rhythm; counters are compact and shapes are simplified, with distinctive, expressive capitals and a bouncy lowercase. Numerals follow the same informal construction, with rounded forms and varied stroke endings that keep the set visually cohesive.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, titles, labels, packaging, and invitations where a handmade voice is desirable. It can work for short blurbs or pull quotes when set with comfortable tracking and generous leading, but it is most effective for headlines and other attention-grabbing lines.
The overall tone is cheerful and characterful, evoking note-taking, handmade signage, and storybook headings. Its uneven rhythm and brushy terminals read as friendly and personal rather than formal or technical, adding charm and a touch of theatricality to short text.
The design appears intended to simulate quick, informal hand lettering with a brush-like tool, prioritizing personality and movement over strict geometric consistency. Its narrow proportions and expressive terminals aim to provide a distinctive, space-efficient display style with a friendly, crafted feel.
In running text, the narrow set width and animated letter shapes create a pronounced texture that draws attention. The most successful results come from embracing its irregularities—using ample spacing and avoiding overly dense settings where the lively details can blur together.
