An expressive, handwritten print style with narrow, vertically oriented letterforms and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Strokes show tapered endings and intermittent swell-and-thin behavior that suggests a pen or brush, with sharp, spur-like terminals and occasional hooked entry/exit strokes. Curves are often pinched and asymmetric, and many glyphs feature compact bowls with tall ascenders and descenders, giving the texture a bouncy, animated skyline. Numerals and capitals carry decorative inflections (notably looped and curled forms), keeping the set visually consistent while allowing noticeable glyph-to-glyph variation typical of drawn lettering.
Best suited to display uses where its idiosyncratic strokes and narrow silhouette can be appreciated—headlines, posters, book or chapter titles, packaging labels, and event or party invitations. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) when paired with a simpler companion for body copy.
The tone feels theatrical and mischievous—equal parts fairy-tale charm and spooky elegance. Its pointed terminals and wiry motion read as playful rather than formal, evoking quirky titles, magical motifs, and characterful packaging. Overall it communicates personality and narrative voice more than neutrality or restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a lively, hand-drawn voice with calligraphic flavor while staying unconnected and readable. Its narrow build and sharp terminals emphasize character and mood, aiming to add narrative charm and a slightly eerie, fantastical edge to titles and branding.
The texture is dense and high-energy at text sizes due to the narrow proportions and frequent tapers, while larger sizes showcase the distinctive hooks and spurs. Capitals are especially decorative and attention-grabbing, making them effective as initial caps or for short headline words.
