A hand-drawn, narrow text face with lively stroke modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Letterforms are mostly upright with subtly uneven curves and a slightly bouncy baseline feel, giving a natural, written rhythm rather than geometric regularity. Many glyphs show sharp wedge-like feet and thin hairline entries that contrast with fuller bowls and stems, creating a distinctly inked, high-contrast texture. Counters are open and rounded, ascenders are tall and slender, and the overall color is light-to-medium with frequent pointed joins and flicked endings.
Best suited for display settings where personality matters—headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and book or chapter titles. It can also work for short passages such as quotes or captions when a handcrafted, whimsical tone is desired, though the pronounced contrast and narrow proportions favor moderate sizes over dense, long-form text.
The font reads as playful and story-like, with an informal charm that suggests hand-lettered signage or illustrated text. Its spiky, tapered details add a hint of theatrical flair while still staying friendly and approachable. Overall it conveys a whimsical, crafty tone suited to characterful, human-forward typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an informal printed hand with deliberate stroke contrast and decorative, tapered terminals, balancing readability with a distinctive, illustrated voice. It aims to feel human and slightly eccentric, bringing a crafted, narrative quality to titles and branded messaging.
Caps have a slightly decorative presence (notably in letters like A, B, R, and Q), while lowercase forms keep a casual print sensibility with occasional idiosyncratic shapes. Numerals are similarly handwritten, with narrow proportions and noticeable tapering, helping maintain a cohesive, drawn-in-ink personality across letters and figures.
