A wide, hand-drawn display face with mostly monoline strokes that frequently taper into sharp, wedge-like terminals. Curves are imperfect and slightly squarish in places, while straight strokes often show subtle bends, creating an intentionally uneven rhythm. Many joins and ends flare or pinch as if made with a quick brush or cut nib, producing small spikes, notches, and asymmetries. Counters tend to be open and generous, and the overall construction mixes rounded bowls with angular cut-ins for a lively, irregular silhouette.
This font is best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its distinctive terminals and uneven texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, book covers, and playful branding. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers, especially when you want an informal, handmade voice rather than a neutral text tone.
The tone is playful and offbeat, with a crafty, storybook energy that feels informal rather than polished. Its sharp flicks and chiseled terminals add a hint of mischievous attitude, making it feel animated and expressive without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of hand lettering while keeping letterforms clear and bold enough for display use. Its wide proportions and flared, cut-like terminals suggest an emphasis on personality and motion over strict geometric consistency.
Uppercase forms read as display-forward and stylized, while lowercase stays equally characterful with noticeable idiosyncrasies (including single-story constructions and expressive descenders). Numerals keep the same flared, hand-rendered logic, with occasional dramatic hooks and tapered strokes that reinforce the drawn-by-hand feel.
