A tall, condensed hand-drawn print with narrow proportions and a slightly irregular, organic rhythm. Strokes are smooth and tapered with subtle, natural variation, giving forms a lightly brushed/marker-like feel while staying clean and unconnected. Capitals are slender and elongated, and the lowercase maintains a short x-height with long ascenders and descenders, creating a vertical, airy texture. Curves are softly rounded and terminals often narrow to fine points, reinforcing a light, nimble presence in text.
Well suited to display and short-to-medium text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as posters, greeting cards, invitations, lightweight packaging, and pull quotes. It can also work for editorial sidebars or headings where a narrow, tall texture helps fit copy into tight horizontal space while keeping a casual tone.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a quirky, handwritten charm that feels personal rather than polished. Its lanky silhouettes and gentle irregularities add a playful, storybook-like character while remaining readable and calm.
The design appears intended to deliver a legible hand-lettered print style with a tall, condensed footprint and an intentionally imperfect, drawn-by-hand cadence. It prioritizes personality and approachability over rigid geometric consistency, aiming for a natural, human rhythm in both headings and supporting text.
Spacing appears open and consistent enough for short passages, though the tall ascenders/descenders and narrow letterforms make the line feel vertically expressive. Numerals follow the same slim, hand-rendered logic, with simple shapes and a lightly drawn appearance that matches the alphabet.
