A tall, condensed handwritten print with lively, uneven rhythm and noticeably high stroke contrast. Forms are built from narrow verticals paired with thin, hairline-like connectors and terminals, creating an inky, calligraphic feel without joining letters. Stroke endings are sharp and tapered, and curves often look slightly pinched or off-round, reinforcing a hand-drawn character. Spacing and proportions vary from glyph to glyph, with some letters and numerals taking on markedly different widths, adding to the organic, improvised texture.
Best suited to short display settings where its narrow, high-contrast texture can read as a deliberate stylistic choice—headlines, posters, book covers, and packaging. It can also add a handmade accent to invitations, labels, and small branding moments when used with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is playful and characterful, with a slightly mischievous, storybook energy. Its tall, spindly silhouettes and flicked terminals give it a quirky handmade charm that feels more illustrative than formal.
The design appears intended to emulate an expressive hand-printed look—tall, condensed, and lively—prioritizing personality and visual rhythm over strict typographic regularity. Its contrast and tapered terminals suggest a drawn or brush-pen influence translated into a consistent display face.
Uppercase and lowercase differ strongly in construction, and several glyphs lean on exaggerated verticality for personality. Numerals and punctuation follow the same spiky, tapered logic, keeping the texture consistent across mixed content.
