A narrow, hand-drawn print style with tall proportions and softly rounded terminals. Strokes are monolinear overall with subtle wobble and organic tapering, creating a felt-tip/marker-like texture. Letterforms are simplified and slightly irregular, with gentle baseline bounce and small variations in stroke edges that reinforce a handmade rhythm. Counters tend to be compact, curves are loose and open, and spacing feels airy due to the condensed silhouettes.
Best suited to short, expressive text such as posters, playful packaging, greeting cards, classroom materials, and informal branding. It can work for subheads or captions when set with generous leading, but the condensed shapes and compact counters favor display use over long reading.
The font reads as lighthearted and personable, with a quirky, storybook tone. Its narrow, wiggly strokes and informal construction give it a chatty, approachable voice that feels more doodled than engineered.
The design appears intended to emulate quick hand-printing with a marker or pen—delivering an informal, personable look while keeping glyphs clean enough for clear, punchy headlines. Its condensed build suggests a goal of fitting lively text into tight spaces without losing a handmade feel.
Capitals maintain the same casual energy as the lowercase, avoiding rigid geometry; several glyphs show small asymmetries that add charm. Numerals follow the same narrow, hand-inked logic and remain legible at display sizes, with a consistent rounded-top, rounded-bottom cadence across the set.
