A tall, condensed hand-drawn print with slender monoline strokes and subtly irregular curves. Capitals are narrow and elongated with simple construction and occasional exaggerated verticals (notably in J, P, R, and Y), while lowercase remains small with a notably low x-height and airy counters. The rhythm is lightly uneven, with slight waviness and asymmetric joins that preserve a sketched, human feel; terminals are mostly blunt with a few tapered or hooked finishes, especially in descenders and the figures.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its tall, quirky rhythm can be a feature—headlines, posters, book covers, and themed packaging. It can also work for logo wordmarks and titles in entertainment contexts, especially where a handcrafted, story-like voice is desired.
The overall tone feels whimsical and a bit eerie, like lettering for a quirky fable or a light horror comedy. Its lanky proportions and jumpy spacing give it a mischievous, theatrical personality that reads as intentionally imperfect and charming.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering while maintaining legibility through simple, narrow forms and consistent stroke weight. Its exaggerated verticality and low lowercase presence suggest a deliberate emphasis on character and mood over neutrality.
Ascenders and descenders are prominent, creating a strong vertical emphasis in text. The digit set follows the same narrow, hand-drawn logic, with simple, open shapes and a slightly bouncy baseline that becomes more noticeable in longer lines.
