A tall, spindly hand-drawn print with narrow proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes feel pen-like with gently tapered ends and occasional flared terminals, creating a lightly calligraphic feel without connected writing. The lowercase shows a notably small x-height against long ascenders and descenders, and the overall spacing and widths vary from letter to letter, reinforcing an informal, crafted texture. Curves are slightly irregular and the baseline feels subtly animated, while capitals remain simple and upright with a handmade consistency.
Best suited to display settings where its character can be appreciated—headlines, short blurbs, book or zine titles, posters, packaging, and greeting-card style messaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when you want an informal, handcrafted feel, but the narrow, delicate forms suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The font conveys a whimsical, storybook tone—friendly and a little oddball, like lettering for puzzles, crafts, or a children’s chapter heading. Its narrow, tall silhouette and springy forms give it a lighthearted, curious voice rather than a polished corporate one.
The design appears intended to mimic neat-but-imperfect hand lettering: upright, readable print forms with deliberate irregularities in width, spacing, and terminals to keep the texture human. Its proportions emphasize tall ascenders/descenders and a small x-height to amplify personality and a story-like cadence.
Round letters (like O/C/G) read as open and airy, while straight strokes stay slim and vertical, helping the design feel lean even at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic with simple shapes and gentle quirks, keeping the set cohesive in mixed text.
