A wiry, monoline handwritten print with tall proportions and generous vertical reach. Strokes stay consistently thin with a lightly sketched, pen-drawn feel and subtle wobble in curves and terminals. Letterforms are mostly unconnected and upright, with simplified geometry and ample white space inside bowls and counters; several glyphs have long ascenders/descenders that create a distinctly spindly rhythm. Overall spacing feels loose and natural rather than engineered, reinforcing the hand-made character.
Best suited for short-to-medium display copy where its thin strokes and quirky proportions can stay legible—such as headlines, quotes, invitations, greeting cards, and light packaging or label work. It can also add personality to social graphics and annotations, but the delicate line weight favors larger sizes and high-contrast backgrounds.
The tone is lighthearted and informal, reading as personal and slightly whimsical. Its tall, delicate strokes and uneven hand rhythm give it a friendly, off-the-cuff voice that feels approachable rather than authoritative.
The design appears intended to capture a quick, personal handwritten print with a tall, airy silhouette—prioritizing character and spontaneity over strict typographic regularity. It aims to feel human and conversational while remaining readable as unconnected print letters.
Capitals are notably taller than the lowercase, and the lowercase sits low with small bodies relative to ascenders, emphasizing a lanky silhouette. Round forms (like O/0) are narrow and vertically oriented, while straight letters use simple stems and lightly tapered joins that preserve the drawn-by-hand impression.
