A hand-drawn print face built from fine, wiry strokes with frequent double-line/outlined construction that gives letters a sketched, slightly architectural feel. Proportions are tall and compact, with long ascenders/descenders and small lowercase bodies; spacing reads open because the strokes are so light. Round forms (O, Q, 0) show clean, even curves, while diagonals and joins (K, M, N, W, X) keep a loose, human rhythm. Numerals echo the same drawn-outline treatment and retain a simple, legible structure.
Best suited to short display settings where its fine, sketched outlines can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, invitations, and greeting-card style copy. It can also work for pull quotes or short captions when set with generous size and leading to accommodate the long extenders.
The overall tone is whimsical and slightly eccentric—like neat pen doodles or hand-lettered notes with a hint of vintage charm. The airy linework keeps it lighthearted and approachable, while the tall proportions add a touch of oddball character.
The design appears intended to capture the charm of informal hand lettering while maintaining recognizable, readable print shapes. The repeated outline/double-line motif suggests a deliberate “drawn with a pen” aesthetic aimed at expressive, characterful display typography.
The mix of single-stroke and double-stroke construction across glyphs contributes to an intentionally imperfect, handmade texture. Descenders on letters like g, j, and y are notably long, which adds personality but also increases vertical footprint in text settings.
