A monoline, hand-drawn print with extremely slender strokes and tall, condensed proportions. Forms rely on soft curves and rounded terminals, often combining straight verticals with gentle, looped bowls (notably in letters like B, P, R) and simple, open constructions elsewhere. Spacing feels generous relative to stroke weight, and the overall texture is light and breathable, with small idiosyncrasies that keep the rhythm informal rather than strictly geometric.
Best suited to short display text where its delicate line and tall, narrow shapes can be appreciated—such as headlines, posters, packaging accents, greeting cards, and invitations. It can also work for pull quotes or captions when set with ample size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The tone is lighthearted and a bit quirky, with a fragile, sketch-like presence that reads as friendly and whimsical. Its tall, spidery silhouettes suggest a playful, storybook sensibility rather than a serious editorial voice.
The design appears intended to mimic a neat, pen-drawn print: airy, charming, and intentionally imperfect. Its emphasis on slender strokes and vertical elegance prioritizes personality and visual lightness over dense text readability.
The caps appear notably taller than the lowercase, and the lowercase has a petite core height, which emphasizes verticality. Numerals and punctuation keep the same thin, drawn line and rounded finishing, helping the set feel cohesive in display settings.
