A tall, condensed hand-drawn print face with monoline strokes and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms are upright with slightly irregular curves and subtly uneven stroke joins that keep the texture organic without sacrificing clarity. Counters are open and simple, and the overall rhythm feels light and vertical, with compact widths and consistent spacing that reads cleanly in short lines. Numerals match the same narrow, rounded construction for a cohesive set.
Works well for headlines, short captions, posters, and packaging where a personable hand-drawn tone is desired. The condensed footprint can be useful when space is tight, and the clean monoline construction helps it stay legible in display sizes for playful editorial or craft-oriented design.
The tone is friendly and lightly whimsical, like neat marker lettering in a notebook. Its narrow stance and soft corners create an approachable, informal voice that feels playful rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to emulate neat, informal hand lettering with a consistent, printable structure. The goal appears to be a compact, friendly display face that delivers charm and approachability while remaining straightforward to read.
Several shapes lean on simplified, almost geometric constructions (notably round letters and straight stems), while small inconsistencies in curvature and terminal finishing preserve an authentic hand-rendered feel. The condensed proportions give it a distinctive vertical emphasis that stands out in headings.
