A wiry handwritten print with tall, narrow proportions and an animated, slightly uneven rhythm. Strokes swing between hairline thins and occasional heavier downstrokes, giving the letters a pen-drawn, high-contrast feel without formal calligraphic structure. Terminals are mostly tapered and pointed, counters are small, and curves are lightly irregular, reinforcing a natural hand movement. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively texture in both caps and lowercase.
This font works best for short to medium text where its character can be appreciated—display headlines, poster copy, packaging accents, and quote graphics. It can also suit invitations or greeting cards where a handwritten-but-readable print voice is desired, especially at larger sizes with generous tracking.
The tone is informal and quirky, with a light, slightly spidery charm that feels personal and a bit mischievous. Its bouncy silhouettes and tapered ends read as expressive rather than polished, lending a casual, handmade warmth.
The design appears intended to capture a quick, upright pen print with an expressive contrast and a deliberately imperfect, human rhythm. It aims to balance legibility with personality, offering a distinctive handmade texture for display-oriented typography.
Capitals are especially tall and slender, and many verticals have subtle waviness that keeps lines of text from looking mechanical. Numerals match the same pen-like construction, with simple forms and narrow footprints that sit comfortably alongside the letters.
