A hand-drawn display face with tall, condensed proportions and a lively, irregular rhythm. Strokes show dramatic thick–thin behavior, with many letters built from a narrow heavy vertical paired with hairline curves and joins. Terminals are often tapered, hooked, or slightly spiky, and curves feel sketch-like rather than perfectly geometric. Widths and sidebearings vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving lines of text an animated, uneven texture while remaining clearly upright and legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short-form typography where its high-contrast details and quirky construction can be appreciated—posters, headlines, book covers, packaging, and event materials. It also works well for branding elements that want an artisanal, offbeat voice, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone is playful and eccentric, with a slightly vintage storybook or poster feel. Its sharp hairlines and inky dark stems create a theatrical, mischievous energy that reads as expressive rather than formal. The varied shapes and bouncy spacing add a handmade charm that can feel crafty and personable.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-rendered lettering in a refined display format: tall forms, punchy contrast, and intentionally inconsistent widths that create a distinctive, illustrative presence.
Capitals tend to be tall and attention-grabbing, while lowercase forms mix narrow stems with open counters for an airy, illustrated look. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, drawn character, with distinctive silhouettes that prioritize personality over strict uniformity.
