A condensed, hand-drawn sans with tapered strokes and subtly chiseled terminals. Letterforms are upright and tall, with uneven stroke widths and slight asymmetries that create a lively rhythm. Curves are narrow and pinched, counters are compact, and joins often sharpen into wedge-like points. Capitals feel more formal and elongated, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes and a bouncier texture; numerals follow the same narrow, tapered construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display settings such as titles, headlines, short phrases, and packaging where its narrow proportions help fit more characters into limited space. It can work well for themed materials—storybook, fantasy, seasonal, or craft-oriented designs—where an expressive, hand-drawn voice is desired.
The overall tone is playful and slightly spooky, like lettering from a storybook, fantasy title card, or craft label. Its irregularities and pointed terminals give it an expressive, hand-rendered character that reads as personable rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, hand-lettered sans for decorative use, prioritizing personality and rhythmic texture over strict geometric regularity. Its tapered strokes and pointed terminals suggest a deliberate “carved/inked” feel meant to stand out in titles and branding.
Spacing appears fairly tight in running text, producing a dense vertical texture that emphasizes the font’s tall proportions. The distinctive, pointed terminals and compact counters become more noticeable at larger sizes, where the handmade contours read as intentional detail rather than distortion.
