A tall, wiry handwritten print with monoline strokes and gently tilted letterforms. Proportions are narrow and vertically oriented, with long ascenders/descenders and a notably small lowercase body relative to capitals. Strokes show subtle wobble and natural stroke endings, with occasional hooked terminals and slight overshoots that keep the rhythm lively. Spacing is irregular in a hand-drawn way, and numerals follow the same slim, open construction.
Works best for short-to-medium text where a friendly handwritten voice is desired—titles, quotes, invitations, packaging accents, and casual branding. The slender build and compact lowercase suggest using slightly larger sizes or added tracking for comfortable readability in longer passages.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, like quick neat handwriting used for notes, labels, or informal headings. Its bouncy rhythm and airy forms feel approachable rather than formal, lending a relaxed, conversational character to text.
The design appears intended to capture neat, quick handwriting in an unconnected print style, prioritizing warmth and spontaneity over strict typographic regularity. Its narrow, tall structure and minimal stroke contrast aim for an airy texture that feels personal and contemporary.
Capitals read as simple, upright-to-slanted drawn forms with generous internal space, while lowercase letters are compact and delicate, creating a strong cap-to-lowercase contrast in perceived size. The set maintains consistent stroke weight across letters and digits, with slightly varying widths that reinforce the handmade feel.
