A decorative, handwritten-style face with thin hairlines that swell into pronounced bulb and teardrop terminals. Strokes are slightly slanted with a loose, wavy baseline rhythm and irregular curves that make each glyph feel individually drawn. Many letters combine long, tapered strokes with rounded bowls and occasional asymmetrical joins, creating a lively, uneven texture in text. Counters are generally open and simple, while terminals often end in heavy droplets that punctuate the silhouette.
Best used at display sizes where the teardrop terminals and high-contrast stroke modulation can read clearly—posters, headlines, short quotes, and playful branding. It can also add character to packaging, event materials, and cover typography, but is less suited to long-form text where the irregular rhythm may reduce readability.
The overall tone is mischievous and charming, leaning into a playful, slightly spooky storybook energy rather than formal elegance. Its oddball details and bouncy movement give it a whimsical, improvised character suited to lighthearted or eccentric messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic an expressive pen or brush gesture while amplifying terminals into graphic droplets, turning ordinary letterforms into characterful shapes. Its controlled repetition of the droplet motif suggests a deliberate decorative system meant to feel handcrafted and offbeat.
The distinctive droplet endings show up repeatedly across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, acting like a consistent decorative motif. Width and spacing feel intentionally uneven, which enhances personality but also creates a choppy color in longer lines, especially where the heavier terminals cluster.
