A slanted, hand-drawn print with a light, wiry stroke and modest thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are tall and compact, with narrow proportions, tight counters, and a very low x-height that emphasizes long ascenders and descenders. Curves are drawn with a slightly elastic rhythm, and terminals often finish in soft hooks or tapered flicks, giving many glyphs an informal, pen-made look. Spacing appears uneven by design, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handwritten character.
Best suited to short, expressive text where its narrow, animated forms can be appreciated—headlines, posters, event materials, packaging accents, and book or album titles. It can also work for brief pull quotes or branding taglines where an informal handwritten tone is desired, but the very low x-height makes it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The font conveys an easygoing, slightly theatrical personality—part sketchbook note, part mid‑century title card. Its jaunty slant and springy curves feel personable and spirited, with a hint of whimsy that keeps the texture lively rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic a quick, confident pen italic—clean enough to read, but intentionally irregular to preserve a human, drawn feel. Its proportions and energetic terminals suggest a focus on display use and personality over strict typographic uniformity.
Capitals read as display-oriented with distinctive, simplified constructions (notably in rounded letters and diagonals), while lowercase forms lean on cursive-like gestures without connecting. Numerals are tall and elegant, matching the overall narrow stance and maintaining the same light, flicked finishing strokes.
