A condensed, hand-drawn print with tall proportions and lively stroke rhythm. Forms are built from narrow verticals paired with rounded bowls and tapered joins, creating an inky, slightly uneven texture that feels made with a marker or brush pen. Terminals alternate between blunt cuts and soft hooks, and curves show subtle asymmetry that keeps the line from feeling mechanical. Spacing is moderately tight and the overall silhouette stays legible while preserving an intentionally irregular, handcrafted consistency.
Best suited to short headlines, packaging callouts, labels, and social graphics where a handmade feel is desirable. It can also work for invitations, kids-oriented materials, and editorial pull quotes, especially when set with generous line spacing to let the tall forms breathe.
The tone is upbeat and informal, with a quirky charm that reads as friendly and approachable. Its tall, bouncy shapes and playful terminals give it a lighthearted voice suited to casual, personality-driven messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a casual, hand-printed alternative to conventional condensed display faces—prioritizing personality, warmth, and a drawn-by-hand texture while staying readable in attention-grabbing sizes.
Capitals are generally slim and prominent, giving headlines a vertical lift, while lowercase keeps a simple printed structure rather than connecting into script. Numerals follow the same narrow, hand-rendered feel and remain clear at display sizes, contributing to a cohesive, poster-ready character.
