A tall, condensed handwritten print with an upright stance and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thin hairlines and heavier verticals, and terminals often taper as if made with a flexible pen. Many glyphs feature small, sharp wedge-like serifs or flared ends, plus occasional hooked tails (notably on j, y, and g) that add bounce. Counters are generally narrow and vertical, and spacing feels slightly irregular in a natural, hand-drawn way while staying consistent enough for text setting.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where character and charm matter: titles, posters, packaging, and book-cover typography. It can also work for pull quotes, menu headings, or greeting cards, especially when you want an informal handmade feel with a slightly dramatic, narrow silhouette.
The overall tone is friendly and mischievous, leaning toward a storybook or crafty personality rather than formal calligraphy. Its skinny silhouettes and spiky details give it a slightly gothic-fairy-tale edge, while the handwritten quirks keep it approachable and informal.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a flexible-pen contrast, combining condensed proportions for impact with playful details for personality. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and distinctive shapes over strict uniformity, making it a display-friendly handwritten print.
The uppercase set reads especially narrow and tall, with simplified, elongated forms, while the lowercase carries more personality through loops and descenders. Numerals follow the same slender, high-contrast logic, with elegant thin curves on 2, 3, and 8 and a more angular, pen-cut feel on 4 and 7.
