A wiry, hand-drawn print with very thin strokes and an uneven, organic rhythm. Letterforms are narrow and tall with a slightly shaky baseline and subtly inconsistent stroke endings that feel like a fine pen or dry brush. Curves are open and lightly asymmetrical, while verticals dominate the structure, giving capitals a lanky silhouette. Spacing is loose and variable, reinforcing the handmade character and keeping text color light and porous on the page.
Best used at display sizes where the thin strokes and narrow shapes can stay crisp and intentional. It works well for short headlines, book or zine covers, whimsical packaging, invitations, and themed posters where a handmade, slightly off-kilter voice is desirable. For longer text, generous size and spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is quirky and story-like, with a gentle eccentricity that reads as personal and informal rather than polished. Its spindly lines and narrow proportions create a delicate, slightly spooky whimsy—suited to imaginative, offbeat messaging.
The design appears intended to capture an authentic hand-printed look—light, narrow, and characterful—prioritizing personality and atmosphere over strict regularity. Its irregularities and airy texture suggest a font made to add narrative charm and a personal touch to titles and expressive statements.
Capitals tend to be more distinctive and expressive than the lowercase, with occasional elongated ascenders/descenders that add bounce. Numerals are simple and hand-shaped, matching the same thin, slightly wavering stroke quality, and punctuation/joins remain minimal, preserving a printed (unconnected) feel.
