A hand-drawn print style with narrow, tapering strokes and frequent needle-like terminals. Curves are rounded but often end in sharp flicks, giving many letters small barbs and wedges. Stroke modulation feels brush-driven, with subtle thick-to-thin shifts and occasional ink-like swelling at turns. Spacing and widths are intentionally uneven, creating a lively rhythm; uppercase forms are open and airy while lowercase stays simple and legible, with distinctive pointed joins and diagonals.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings where its spiky brush texture can be appreciated—such as posters, covers, title treatments, branding accents, and packaging. It can work for short sentences in larger sizes, but the animated spacing and pointed details make it less ideal for long, continuous reading.
The overall tone is mischievous and energetic, combining friendly rounded bowls with edgy, thorny accents. It reads as informal and expressive—more characterful than polished—suggesting a playful, slightly fantastical mood.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering while preserving a printed, unconnected structure. Its goal is to deliver a distinctive silhouette and energetic texture for display typography, balancing approachable round forms with sharp, decorative flicks.
The sharp terminals show up consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping unify the set. In text, the irregular widths and flicked endings add motion and personality, while the largely unconnected letters keep it readable at display sizes.
