A monoline hand-drawn print with tall, slender proportions and gently rounded terminals. Strokes keep an even thickness and show subtle irregularities that suggest marker or pen lettering, with occasional soft hooks and slight waviness at joins. Uppercase forms are airy and elongated, while the lowercase stays compact and simple, creating a lively mixed-case rhythm. Overall spacing feels open and comfortable, with straightforward, legible shapes and a lightly uneven baseline that reinforces the handmade character.
Well-suited to short-to-medium display text where a friendly handmade voice is desired, such as packaging, café menus, invitations, classroom materials, and playful posters. It can also work for pull quotes or headings when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The font reads as casual and upbeat, with a slightly quirky, storybook tone. Its narrow, tall silhouettes and relaxed stroke behavior give it a personable, conversational feel rather than a formal or technical one.
The letterforms appear designed to capture an informal, hand-lettered print look with consistent monoline strokes and an intentionally imperfect rhythm, aiming for approachability and charm while remaining clear in everyday display use.
The design leans on simplified constructions—single-storey-like lowercase forms and uncomplicated bowls—while capitals such as J, Q, and Y add distinctive personality through lengthened stems and gentle curves. Numerals match the same tall, drawn style, keeping the set visually cohesive in mixed text.
