A lively, hand-drawn print face with upright-to-slightly backslanted forms and a brush-pen feel. Strokes show noticeable tapering and abrupt terminals, creating a crisp, slightly spiky silhouette rather than rounded softness. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph with an intentionally uneven rhythm, and counters are compact, especially in the lowercase, reinforcing a tight, vertical texture. The overall drawing balances angular joins with occasional curved bowls, giving the alphabet an energetic, improvised consistency.
Best suited to short display settings where its animated stroke endings and variable rhythm can be appreciated—headlines, poster titles, book covers, packaging callouts, and characterful wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes or UI accents at larger sizes, but the busy texture is less ideal for long passages of small text.
The tone is mischievous and story-like, with a handmade charm that reads as theatrical and lightly gothic without becoming formal. Its irregular cadence and sharp terminals add character and a sense of motion, suggesting eccentric headings and playful, dramatic voice-over text.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a slightly backslanted stance and expressive, tapered brush strokes. It aims to deliver distinctive personality and a crafted, narrative feel rather than typographic neutrality.
Uppercase letters tend to feel taller and more declarative, while the lowercase leans compact and flicky, producing a pronounced contrast in tone between title case and mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same brushy logic, with simplified, open shapes that prioritize personality over strict uniformity.
