A condensed, hand-drawn print style with upright stance and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show modest thick–thin variation and occasional brushy swelling, with tapered terminals and small, informal serif-like flicks on several letters. Curves are slightly irregular and counters run a bit tight, while proportions vary from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a noticeably handmade cadence. The lowercase is compact with a relatively small x-height, and punctuation-like details (dots, hooks, and tails) feel intentionally idiosyncratic rather than geometric.
Works best for short to medium display settings where personality is more important than typographic neutrality—posters, chapter openers, book covers, packaging, and playful branding. It can also suit kids-oriented or whimsical editorial accents, especially where a narrow footprint helps fit longer words into tight spaces.
The overall tone is playful and slightly eccentric, like hand-lettering meant to feel friendly rather than polished. Its narrow forms and animated terminals give it a spry, mischievous character that reads as casual and expressive.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand-lettering in a compact, condensed footprint, balancing readability with a deliberately quirky, human irregularity. It prioritizes character and rhythm over strict consistency, aiming for an informal, approachable voice.
Spacing appears intentionally uneven in places, contributing to the drawn-by-hand charm; paired shapes like stems and bowls don’t always mirror perfectly. Numerals follow the same informal logic, with distinctive curves and angled joins that keep the texture lively in running text.
