A delicate, hand-drawn print face with tall, slender proportions and a lightly sketched stroke. Letterforms are mostly upright but show subtle wobble and uneven pressure, creating a lively, human rhythm. Strokes alternate between hairline thins and occasional inkier terminals, with small teardrop-like ends and sporadic curl or hook details. Curves are open and slightly asymmetric, counters stay small and airy, and overall spacing feels loose, emphasizing a drawn-on-paper texture rather than strict typographic regularity.
Best suited to short display text where its airy thin strokes and quirky details can be appreciated—headlines, poster titles, cover typography, packaging callouts, and greeting-card style messaging. It can work for brief captions or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but the light structure and narrow forms suggest avoiding dense body copy or very small settings.
The tone is whimsical and slightly eccentric, like quick ink lettering for notes, captions, or handmade signage. Its spidery delicacy and playful irregularities read as curious and storybook-like, with a lightly theatrical edge.
The design appears intended to mimic quick pen lettering with an intentionally uneven, expressive line, prioritizing personality over strict uniformity. Its tall, narrow build and delicate terminals aim to create a distinctive hand-rendered presence for display use.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same fragile, elongated voice, but the set intentionally varies in width and stroke emphasis from glyph to glyph. Numerals follow the same light, handwritten logic, with simple forms and occasional flourish at terminals that reinforces the informal, personal character.
