A tall, spindly handwritten print with pronounced stroke modulation and a pen-drawn look. Letters are generally narrow and upright, with long ascenders/descenders and small interior counters that keep the texture light and open. Terminals taper to fine points or soft teardrops, and strokes show subtle wobble and varying pressure, producing a lively, human rhythm. Uppercase forms feel slightly more formal and elongated, while lowercase introduces more casual loops and simplified joins without becoming connected script.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, book covers, and packaging where its tall, inked texture can be appreciated. It can also work for greeting cards, invitations, or short pull quotes, especially when a handmade, storybook-like tone is desired; for long body copy it will likely be most comfortable at larger sizes due to its fine strokes and narrow proportions.
The overall tone is whimsical and slightly theatrical, combining a refined, inked elegance with an informal, sketchbook charm. Its narrow, delicate build reads as lighthearted and expressive rather than utilitarian, lending a quirky personality to short phrases and titles.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, confident pen lettering with visible pressure changes, balancing legibility with an intentionally idiosyncratic, hand-rendered cadence. Its narrow silhouette and elongated verticals suggest a display-forward aim: to add character and charm while staying readable in short lines.
Spacing appears generous relative to the narrow letterforms, helping prevent the thin strokes from clumping at display sizes. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic with varied proportions, reinforcing the organic, non-mechanical feel.
