A tall, monoline display face with very slim, open counters and generous vertical proportions. Strokes remain mostly even, with subtly uneven curves and slightly irregular terminals that suggest a lightly hand-rendered construction rather than strict geometric drafting. Many letters show small flares and gentle hook-like finishes, and the overall rhythm is narrow and vertical, giving words a slender, columnar texture. Numerals follow the same wiry build, with simple forms and soft, rounded joins that keep the set consistent in text.
Best used for headlines, posters, cover titles, and identity accents where the tall, wiry silhouette can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging and editorial display applications that want a handcrafted, retro-quirky tone, especially in larger sizes with ample surrounding whitespace.
The font reads as light and whimsical, with a vintage, storybook-like personality. Its thin strokes and idiosyncratic endings add a playful, slightly spooky charm—more eccentric than formal—while still staying legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended as a characterful, lightweight display face that emphasizes height, airiness, and a subtly handmade rhythm. Its consistent thin stroke and distinctive terminals aim to provide a memorable voice for titles and branding while maintaining straightforward letterforms for readability.
In sample text, spacing and alignment produce a clean, even color despite the extremely thin strokes, but the face depends on size and contrast to show its character. The delicate lines and open forms make it better suited to headline and short-copy use than dense paragraphs or low-resolution reproduction.
