A tall, spidery handwritten print with extremely slim strokes and lots of vertical emphasis. Letterforms are built from simple, mostly unconnected lines with occasional small hooks and tapered terminals that give a lightly sketched, pen-drawn feel. Curves are narrow and open, counters are modest, and the overall rhythm is uneven in a human way, with subtle wobble and small idiosyncrasies from glyph to glyph. Numerals follow the same thin, elongated construction, keeping the set visually consistent in texture and spacing.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, book or zine covers, invitations, and packaging where a distinctive handwritten personality is desired. It can work well for short captions, pull quotes, or signage when set large enough to preserve its fine stroke details.
The font reads as quirky and playful, with a fragile, airy presence that feels casual and slightly oddball rather than polished or formal. Its wiry construction and exaggerated height lend it a whimsical, storybook tone that can also tilt toward spooky or eccentric depending on context.
The design appears intended to capture a quick, hand-drawn note aesthetic with exaggerated height and minimal stroke weight, prioritizing personality and visual character over strict uniformity. Its consistent thin-line construction suggests a deliberate choice to create a light, whimsical display hand for expressive typography.
Because the strokes are so fine and the forms are narrowly drawn, the face relies on scale and contrast for impact; it tends to look more confident in larger sizes and short bursts of text than in dense, continuous reading. The overall silhouette is strongly vertical, giving words a distinctive picket-fence profile in headlines.
