A tall, condensed handwritten print with an upright stance and lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast, often tapering to fine hairlines at joins and terminals, with occasional heavier verticals that feel pen-drawn. Curves are narrow and elongated, counters are small, and spacing stays relatively tight, giving lines a vertical, columnar feel. Terminals are mostly soft and slightly irregular, reinforcing an organic, hand-rendered texture while maintaining clear letter shapes.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a distinctive handmade voice is desired—posters, invitations, packaging labels, café or boutique branding, and book covers. It can also work for pull quotes and headings when you want a narrow footprint with expressive, human texture.
The overall tone is whimsical and lightly eccentric—more storybook and boutique than formal. Its narrow, spindly silhouettes and calligraphic contrast add a touch of charm and personality, making text feel conversational and crafted rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to provide a legible, upright handwritten print with strong personality—combining condensed proportions and high stroke contrast to create an elegant yet playful, hand-inked impression.
The design mixes simple print construction with subtle calligraphic behavior, especially in rounded forms and in letters with long vertical stems and hooked finishes. Numerals match the same tall, hand-drawn character, with slender curves and a slightly idiosyncratic balance that reads as intentionally informal.
