A narrow, high-shouldered display face with irregular, hand-drawn construction and softly calligraphic modulation. Strokes often taper into wedge-like terminals, mixing angular joins with occasional bulbous curves, producing a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are slightly pinched and asymmetrical, and many letters show subtle kinks or flares that make the texture intentionally unpredictable. The lowercase is compact with tall ascenders and a short-to-moderate x-height, while figures and capitals keep a similarly lean silhouette with occasional eccentric hooks and notches.
Best suited to short display settings where personality is the goal—headlines, posters, invitations, book covers, and playful packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or chapter openers, but the irregular rhythm and narrow proportions suggest keeping it out of long, dense body text.
The overall tone is playful and offbeat, with a quirky, slightly mischievous energy reminiscent of storybook titling and whimsical craft lettering. Its irregularities read as intentional character rather than roughness, giving copy a lively, theatrical bounce.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, one-off voice through deliberate irregularity: a hand-rendered, whimsical aesthetic that feels crafted rather than mechanically uniform. Its tapered terminals and quirky proportions prioritize character and memorability over neutrality.
Spacing and widths appear inconsistent by design, which amplifies the handmade feel in words and lines. Round forms like O/Q and bowls in b/d/p show noticeable squaring and tapering, and diagonal-heavy letters (K, V, W, X, Y) lean into sharp, spiky gestures that stand out in headings.
