A tall, spindly handwritten print with monoline strokes and softly irregular geometry. The letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with generous ascenders and descenders that give the line a stretched, airy rhythm. Curves are lightly wobbled and terminals often taper or hook, reinforcing a drawn-by-hand feel; counters are small and the lowercase reads compact due to the relatively small x-height. Spacing appears uneven in a natural way, and the overall color on the page stays light and open.
Well-suited for short headlines, quotes, invitations, greeting cards, and light packaging where a handmade voice is desirable. It can also work for posters or book covers when paired with a calmer companion font and set with comfortable tracking and leading.
The font conveys a whimsical, gently eccentric tone—more storybook and personal than formal. Its thin strokes and tall proportions feel lighthearted and a bit fragile, suggesting casual notes, handmade labels, or playful editorial styling rather than authoritative text.
The design appears intended to mimic neat, unconnected handwriting with an intentionally imperfect line and a tall, narrow silhouette. It prioritizes personality and charm over typographic regularity, aiming for an illustrative, handcrafted presence in display settings.
Uppercase letters tend to be simple, elongated constructions with occasional quirky details (notably in rounded letters and diagonals), while the numerals share the same narrow, hand-drawn character. The sample text shows clear word shapes at display sizes, but the fine stroke weight and tight interior spaces make it feel best when allowed room to breathe.
