A slim, hand-drawn print style with tall proportions and a gently irregular rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with tapered ends and occasional bulb-like terminals that mimic pen pressure. Curves are open and slightly asymmetrical, and straight stems wobble subtly, keeping the texture lively rather than rigid. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, contributing to an animated, organic color in text while remaining generally legible.
Works well for short-to-medium display text such as posters, invitations, greeting cards, packaging callouts, and playful branding. It can also suit editorial pull quotes or chapter titles where a hand-rendered personality is desired. Because the letterforms are narrow and delicate, it’s best used with comfortable tracking and at sizes that preserve the thin strokes.
The overall tone feels lighthearted and personable, like neat handwriting made for display. Its narrow, elongated shapes and spiky tapers add a touch of whimsy and eccentricity, giving headlines a chatty, storybook-like presence without becoming overly ornamental.
Designed to capture the charm of hand-printed lettering with visible stroke pressure and imperfect geometry, balancing legibility with an intentionally quirky, animated silhouette. The intent appears to be a distinctive display face that adds warmth and character to otherwise simple typographic layouts.
Capitals are especially tall and expressive, with distinctive, simplified forms and occasional decorative curls. Numerals are similarly slender and stylized, leaning on long strokes and airy counters for a delicate, informal look. The texture is best appreciated at medium to large sizes where the contrast and tapered details remain clear.
