A wiry, hand-drawn print with slender strokes, slightly wobbly contours, and subtle stroke modulation that feels pen-made rather than constructed. Forms are simplified and open, with a gentle bounce in baseline alignment and irregular, human spacing that adds rhythm. Ascenders and descenders run long compared to the compact lowercase body, and counters stay generous despite the narrow build. Terminals are mostly tapered or softly blunted, with occasional small hooks and flicks that reinforce the handwritten character.
Best suited to short to medium text where a friendly, handmade voice is desirable—captions, headings, pull quotes, packaging text, invitations, and display copy on posters or covers. It can also work for playful UI accents or labeling where character matters more than typographic precision.
The overall tone is lighthearted and informal, like quick notes, labels, or a personal caption. Its unevenness reads as intentional and personable, giving text a quirky, storybook-like charm without becoming overtly decorative.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, casual handwriting in an unconnected print style, prioritizing personality and approachability over strict uniformity. Its narrow, elongated proportions and lively extenders suggest a goal of keeping text light and animated while staying readable at display sizes.
Uppercase letters tend to be tall and airy, while the lowercase keeps a small core with prominent extenders, creating a lively vertical texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same drawn-by-hand logic, with simple shapes and slight irregularities that keep them cohesive with the alphabet.
