A casual, hand-drawn print face with narrow proportions, lively stroke modulation, and frequent tapered terminals that mimic a brush or flexible pen. Letterforms are upright but rhythmically uneven, with slight size and width variation across glyphs that reinforces an informal, handmade texture. Curves are soft and slightly asymmetrical, counters are open, and joins tend to be simple and unconnected, keeping words airy despite the condensed build. Capitals are tall and expressive, while the lowercase shows a notably short x-height with long ascenders/descenders that add vertical bounce in text.
Best suited to short display settings where its lively irregularity can be a feature—titles, posters, quotes, packaging callouts, invitations, and greeting cards. It can also work for branding in casual or handmade contexts, especially when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The overall tone feels lighthearted and personable, with a sketchbook immediacy that reads as friendly rather than formal. Its narrow, springy rhythm and tapered strokes give it a whimsical, crafty character suited to cheerful messaging and informal storytelling.
The design appears intended to capture the look of quick, confident hand lettering—narrow, upright, and energetic—while staying legible in mixed-case text. Stroke contrast and tapered ends seem used to evoke brush pressure and add personality without connecting letters.
Texture varies noticeably between letters, as if written with changing pressure; this gives headings a charming irregularity but can also make dense paragraphs feel visually busy. Numerals follow the same tapered, handwritten logic, with simple, rounded shapes that match the letterforms.
