A delicate, hand-drawn print face with thin, slightly wavering strokes and occasional ink-like blobs at terminals. Letterforms are upright but loosely constructed, with uneven contour tension and subtly inconsistent widths that create a lively rhythm. Many characters show sharp, spur-like serif hints and tapered joins, while counters stay open and simplified. The overall texture is light and airy, with noticeable baseline wobble and organic variation that reads as pen-and-ink lettering rather than a rigid typographic model.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where its hand-rendered texture can be appreciated: titles, posters, packaging, labels, and book or album covers. It can also work for pull quotes or UI accents when a personal, sketch-like voice is desired, but the light strokes and irregular rhythm make it less ideal for dense body text or very small sizes.
The font conveys a whimsical, handmade tone—playful and slightly eerie in a fairy-tale or old-note kind of way. Its irregularities and scratchy terminals add personality and a sense of spontaneity, making text feel human and informal rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic quick pen lettering with a lightly gothic, storybook edge—prioritizing character and texture over strict consistency. Its spiky serif hints and uneven stroke behavior suggest a deliberate attempt to keep forms expressive and handmade while remaining legible in headline use.
Uppercase characters tend to be tall and narrow with angular strokes and occasional exaggerated diagonals (notably in letters like K, R, and W). Lowercase forms are simple and somewhat compact, with small dots and light entry/exit strokes that can feel fragile at small sizes. Numerals match the same hand-rendered logic, with uneven curves and a lightly calligraphic slant in some figures.
