A tall, condensed handwritten print with rounded corners and gently uneven stroke behavior. Stems are mostly straight and upright, while curves stay soft and slightly squashed, giving counters a narrow, vertical feel. Terminals often finish in subtle hooks or bulb-like ends, and the baseline rhythm is lively without becoming messy. Capitals are simple and monolinear in spirit, while lowercase forms show more personality with narrow bowls, compact apertures, and occasional asymmetry typical of quick marker lettering.
This font works best for short to medium-length copy where a casual, friendly voice is needed—such as posters, packaging, invitations, book covers, and editorial headlines. Its condensed width can help fit longer titles into tight spaces while still feeling approachable, though the handwritten quirks will be most effective at display and subhead sizes rather than dense body text.
The tone is informal and personable, with a cheerful, slightly quirky energy that feels human-made rather than mechanical. Its narrow, vertical posture reads as tidy and efficient, while the rounded shapes keep it warm and non-authoritarian.
The design appears intended to capture the look of neat, hand-drawn marker printing—structured enough to typeset cleanly, but with deliberate irregularities to preserve an authentic, informal personality.
In running text the letterforms keep consistent proportions, but the small idiosyncrasies (hooks on terminals, uneven joins, and varied curve tension) remain visible and give it charm. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded construction and integrate smoothly with the letters.
