A tall, condensed hand-drawn print with dramatic thick–thin modulation and a slightly irregular, inked texture. Strokes taper sharply, with many hairline terminals and occasional wedge-like joins that give forms a spiky, cut-paper feel. Curves are narrow and pinched, counters stay slim, and spacing feels lively rather than mechanically even, creating a rhythmic, handmade cadence across words. The numerals and lowercase echo the same high-contrast, narrow construction, with distinctive, slightly idiosyncratic silhouettes that read as intentionally imperfect.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, short editorial titles, book covers, and packaging where a whimsical handmade voice is desirable. It can also work for pull quotes or section openers, especially when generous sizing preserves the fine hairlines and expressive details.
The overall tone is playful and characterful, mixing elegance from its high contrast with a mischievous, quirky bounce from its uneven stroke behavior. It suggests a light theatricality—part storybook, part crafty handwritten signage—without becoming fully cursive or decorative script.
The design appears intended to deliver a hand-rendered, high-contrast display voice that feels both refined and eccentric. It emphasizes narrow, towering shapes and lively stroke variation to add personality and motion to short text.
Capitals are especially tall and graphic, while lowercase forms maintain a readable, upright texture with noticeable personality in single-storey shapes and curled terminals. The font’s slender proportions and hairlines make it feel airy and stylish at display sizes, where its texture and contrast can be appreciated.
