A narrow, hand-drawn text face with clean, mostly monoline strokes and gentle modulation that reads as pen-made rather than constructed. Forms are tall and slightly condensed, with a noticeably short x-height and long ascenders/descenders that give the lowercase a lively vertical rhythm. Terminals tend to be rounded or subtly tapered, and curves are soft and organic, with small irregularities that keep repetition from feeling mechanical. Counters stay fairly open for a handwritten style, and the overall spacing feels even, producing an orderly, readable texture despite the informal letterforms.
Works well for short-to-medium passages where a casual, handwritten voice is desired, such as captions, instructional materials, and friendly UI or app microcopy. The narrow proportions can help fit more characters into limited space on packaging, labels, or posters, while still keeping a legible, even color at typical reading sizes. It also suits invitations, menus, and brand touchpoints that benefit from an informal, human tone.
The tone is informal and personable, with a lightly whimsical character that suggests notes, labels, and everyday messaging. Its narrow build and tidy rhythm keep it from becoming messy, so it feels friendly and approachable rather than chaotic. The mix of soft curves and small idiosyncrasies adds charm and a human touch.
The design appears intended to capture a neat, everyday print handwriting style—informal and personable, but controlled enough for continuous reading. Its condensed build and consistent rhythm suggest a focus on practical text use while preserving visible hand-drawn character.
Uppercase shapes are simple and upright, while the lowercase carries most of the personality through varied bowls and distinctive descenders (notably in letters like g, j, and y). Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, with straightforward silhouettes and rounded joins that maintain consistency in running text.
