A hand-drawn print style with tall, condensed proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin contrast and subtly wobbly contours, as if made with a flexible pen or brush. Terminals often taper to sharp points, with occasional spur-like, serif-ish flicks that give letters a slightly spiky silhouette. Curves are narrow and vertical, counters are tight, and spacing feels irregular in a natural, handwritten way, with a mix of narrow and slightly wider glyphs across the set.
Best suited for display use such as book covers, chapter titles, posters, and playful editorial headings where its narrow, high-energy texture can shine. It can also work well on packaging and labels for artisanal or themed products when used at comfortable sizes and with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is playful and characterful, balancing a slightly gothic, ink-and-parchment flavor with lighthearted whimsy. It reads like a casual hand-lettered style suited to imaginative, narrative contexts rather than formal communication.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, expressive hand lettering while maintaining a consistent upright structure for legibility. Its condensed build and sharp, tapered details suggest an aim for a distinctive, story-driven voice that stands out in short to medium-length text.
In the samples, the tall ascenders and narrow bowls create a strong vertical texture in text lines, while the sharp terminals add sparkle at larger sizes. The figures follow the same hand-drawn logic, with simple forms and pointed finishes that match the alphabet’s energy.
