A slim, hand-drawn print style with tall proportions and slightly irregular rhythm. Strokes show gentle modulation and soft, rounded terminals, with occasional flicks and curled joins that give forms a lightly calligraphic feel without connecting letters. Curves are narrow and upright, counters are tight, and several glyphs (notably bowls and descenders) lean into subtle, idiosyncratic shaping that reads as intentionally imperfect. Overall spacing feels airy but uneven in a human way, emphasizing verticality and a delicate silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, delicate letterforms can breathe—such as headlines, posters, packaging, invitations, and book or album covers. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or playful branding, while extended small-size body text may feel busy due to the thin strokes and narrow counters.
The font conveys a charming, storybook personality—lighthearted, a bit old-fashioned, and personable. Its thin, elongated forms and quirky details create a sense of whimsy and handcrafted warmth, suggesting informality rather than precision or authority.
Likely designed to capture a handwritten, print-like voice with a quirky vintage flair—prioritizing personality and visual charm over strict typographic uniformity. The consistent slender build and lively terminals suggest an aim for expressive display typography that still remains readable.
In running text the narrow set and tall ascenders/descenders create a distinctive texture, with strong character-to-character variation that keeps the eye engaged. The numerals match the letterforms with the same spindly build and gently curved, decorative strokes, reinforcing the handmade tone.
