A casual, hand-drawn print style with a consistent rightward slant and a narrow, tall overall proportion. Strokes are monolinear and rounded at terminals, with gentle wobble and slight irregularities that keep the texture organic without becoming messy. Counters are open and simplified, curves are softly inflated, and many joins are treated as separate strokes rather than tightly constructed forms. Spacing feels airy, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm across words.
Works well for short display text where a human, handmade feel is desired—packaging callouts, posters, invitations, greeting cards, classroom materials, and social media graphics. It can also suit captions or short headings when you want an informal, personal voice.
The tone is personable and informal, like quick marker lettering used for notes, labels, or handmade signage. Its narrow, springy shapes and slightly whimsical forms read as approachable and lighthearted rather than formal or technical.
Likely designed to mimic quick, neat hand lettering—clean enough to read at a glance, but intentionally imperfect to preserve a drawn-by-hand authenticity. The narrow proportions and steady slant suggest an aim for compact headlines with a lively, casual texture.
Uppercase forms are tall and streamlined, while lowercase keeps a compact body with occasional longer ascenders/descenders that add movement. Numerals are simple and legible with rounded bends and open shapes, matching the handwritten character of the letters.
