A casual handwritten print with a monoline stroke and a noticeably condensed, tall silhouette. Forms are slightly right-leaning with rounded ends and softly irregular curves that preserve a drawn-by-hand rhythm. Counters are compact, joins are simple, and spacing varies naturally from glyph to glyph, creating an energetic texture in text. Uppercase letters are narrow and vertical, while lowercase shapes keep small, looped counters and compact bowls, contributing to a tight, nimble overall color.
Best suited for short-to-medium text where a human, informal voice is desired—such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, social posts, invitations, and quote graphics. The condensed proportions help fit more characters into tight spaces, while the handwritten texture keeps displays feeling personal and approachable.
The font reads personable and informal, with a playful, quick-marker feel. Its narrow, springy letterforms and gentle irregularities give it an approachable, slightly whimsical tone suited to lighthearted messaging rather than formality.
Designed to simulate quick, neat hand lettering in an unconnected print style, emphasizing speed, friendliness, and a compact footprint. The consistent monoline stroke and narrow proportions suggest an aim for easy readability while retaining an expressive, handmade character.
Ascenders tend to be tall and prominent, while many lowercase letters stay compact, making the overall rhythm feel elongated and airy. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic with simple, legible shapes and consistent stroke behavior, helping them blend naturally into mixed text.
