A condensed, hand-drawn print face with tall proportions and lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast, alternating between thin hairlines and heavier downstrokes, with subtly tapered ends that suggest a brush or marker. Curves are soft and slightly wobbly rather than geometric, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an organic texture. The lowercase is compact with a comparatively short x-height and long ascenders/descenders; counters are generally open, and terminals are rounded or lightly flared.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where personality matters—headlines, posters, invitations, greeting cards, labels, and playful packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone is informal and personable, with a quirky, storybook energy. Its narrow, tall letterforms feel animated and slightly theatrical, giving text a conversational, handmade warmth rather than a polished or corporate voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a casual handwritten feel in a compact footprint, combining tall, narrow proportions with brush-like contrast to create a lively, attention-getting texture that still reads clearly at display sizes.
Capitals tend to be tall and simplified, while several letters introduce distinctive handwritten quirks (such as loopier forms and irregular joins), reinforcing the drawn-by-hand character. Numerals follow the same condensed, high-contrast logic, keeping a consistent texture alongside letters.
