A narrow, monoline handwritten print with softly rounded terminals and subtly irregular stroke behavior. The forms are simple and open, with a gently bouncy baseline and small, uneven overshoots that keep the rhythm lively. Counters are compact and vertical strokes dominate, while curves are slightly lopsided in a natural, drawn way. Numerals and capitals follow the same pared-down construction, maintaining a consistent, lightly wobbly texture across the set.
Works well for short-to-medium text in friendly contexts such as packaging, product labels, café menus, classroom materials, greeting cards, and informal posters. Its narrow proportions can help fit more characters into limited space while still feeling handmade, making it suitable for headings, captions, and callouts where personality matters more than strict typographic precision.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, like casual marker lettering used for quick notes or labels. Its narrow, upright stance reads tidy enough to organize information, while the handmade irregularities add warmth and a hint of whimsy. The result feels approachable rather than formal or technical.
Likely designed to capture the charm of quick, hand-drawn print lettering while staying consistent enough for repeated use in display and small blocks of text. The narrow construction and monoline strokes suggest an intention to be space-efficient and clean, with just enough irregularity to retain a human touch.
Spacing appears moderately tight with a compact footprint, giving text a dense, column-friendly color. Round letters (like O and Q) skew slightly oval, and occasional stroke swell or taper suggests natural pen pressure without creating noticeable contrast. The lowercase shows a modest x-height relative to ascenders, reinforcing a youthful, storybook-like proportion.
