A tall, condensed handwritten print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms have a slightly bouncy baseline and gentle irregularities that mimic marker or pen movement, with occasional tapered joins and subtly uneven curves. Counters are open and simple, spacing is compact, and overall proportions lean narrow with a light, airy interior despite the consistent stroke width. The texture reads cleanly hand-drawn rather than rough, keeping shapes legible while retaining a personal, informal rhythm.
Well suited to short-to-medium display copy where a personable, informal voice is desired—headlines, posters, product packaging, café or event signage, and social graphics. It can also work for lightweight branding applications and pull quotes when set with generous line spacing to let the tall, narrow forms breathe.
The font conveys an easygoing, upbeat tone—like quick handwritten titling done with a steady hand. Its narrow, springy forms feel lively and conversational, making text appear friendly and slightly whimsical without becoming chaotic or messy.
The design appears intended to provide a neat, hand-printed look that feels human and approachable while staying controlled and readable. Its condensed proportions suggest a focus on fitting more characters into tight headline spaces without losing the casual handwritten personality.
Uppercase forms tend to be simple and narrow with rounded shoulders, while lowercase includes a few more idiosyncratic shapes and soft hooks that enhance the handmade character. Numerals follow the same compact, rounded construction, staying consistent with the overall casual, monoline look.
