A tall, spidery handwritten print with monoline strokes and a noticeably condensed footprint. Letterforms are built from simple vertical stems and gentle curves, with slight wobble and irregular terminal finishes that keep the texture human. Proportions are highly vertical: capitals are elongated and dominant, while lowercase is compact with small bowls and short ascenders/descenders, creating a strong cap-to-x-height contrast in mixed text. Counters are open and the overall rhythm is uneven in a deliberate, sketch-like way, helping the font stay legible while remaining characterful.
Works best for short display settings where its tall handwritten personality can be appreciated—posters, headers, labels, greeting cards, and playful packaging. It can also serve for captions or brief passages when generous tracking and line spacing are available, but the strong cap presence makes it especially suited to titles and emphasis.
The tone feels whimsical and lightly eccentric, like quick marker lettering for notes, captions, or handmade signage. Its narrow, tall shapes give it a slightly theatrical, storybook energy, balancing friendliness with a hint of quirky drama.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, personal hand lettering with an intentionally narrow, elongated silhouette. It prioritizes charm and individuality over geometric uniformity, aiming for a casual, approachable voice that still reads cleanly at display sizes.
In the samples, capitals stand out strongly and can read as display elements within text, while the lowercase provides a lighter, more conversational texture. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with simple forms and a slightly bouncy stance that matches the letter rhythm.
