A compact, hand-drawn print style with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The forms are tall and narrow overall, with gentle irregularities in curve tension and stroke endings that keep the texture organic without becoming messy. Counters are small and simplified, and joins are straightforward, giving the letters a clean, legible silhouette. Spacing feels a bit elastic from character to character, reinforcing the handmade rhythm while maintaining an even baseline and steady vertical stance.
Works well in short to medium headlines, packaging callouts, signage, and playful branding where a handmade feel is desirable. Its narrow proportions make it useful when horizontal space is limited, while the clear, monoline construction keeps it readable in larger text settings such as quotes, captions, and social media graphics.
The font communicates an approachable, lighthearted tone—like neat marker lettering used for labels, notes, or classroom materials. Its narrow, tidy shapes feel friendly and informal, with just enough wobble to read as human and personable rather than strictly geometric.
Designed to evoke neat, everyday handwriting in an unconnected print form, balancing charm with clarity. The goal appears to be a friendly, space-saving display voice that still feels personal and hand-rendered.
The uppercase set reads as especially condensed and streamlined, while the lowercase introduces more distinctive, single-storey, handwritten-style constructions. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded logic, matching the alphabet with consistent stroke weight and simplified shapes.
