A tall, slender display face with a hand-drawn print feel and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes often swell into rounded, inky verticals while exits and cross-strokes taper to hairline flicks, producing a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Counters are generally narrow and forms are simplified, with occasional curled terminals (notably on letters like J, Q, y, and z) and soft, brush-like joins in the lowercase. The overall texture alternates between bold vertical accents and delicate connecting strokes, giving the line a distinctive, animated cadence.
Best used at display sizes where the contrast and narrow counters stay clear—headlines, short phrases, and branding marks. It can add charm to packaging, café/food labels, invitations, greeting cards, and book or album covers where a handcrafted, upbeat voice is desired. For longer text, larger sizes and generous spacing will help maintain readability.
The tone is lighthearted and characterful, suggesting an informal, crafty personality rather than formal editorial polish. Its springy proportions and expressive terminals read as cheerful and a bit eccentric, suitable for messaging that wants to feel personal and handmade.
The design appears intended to mimic an informal brush-pen print with deliberate quirks and alternating stroke emphasis, combining tall proportions with playful terminal gestures to create a distinctive, friendly display voice.
Capital letters behave like expressive display initials—some are more monoline and airy, while others lean into heavier, inked vertical stems, creating intentional variety. Numerals follow the same contrasty, drawn look, with simple structures and occasional ornamental curves.
