A tall, monoline handwritten print with long ascenders and descenders and a slightly bouncy baseline. Strokes stay consistently thin with rounded terminals and occasional soft hooks, creating a spidery, high-rise silhouette. Letterforms are mostly unconnected, with narrow internal spaces and simplified construction; capitals are especially elongated and prominent. Overall spacing feels open and rhythmic, favoring vertical movement over width.
Best suited for short to medium display text where its delicate strokes and tall proportions can be appreciated—such as posters, invitations, greeting cards, labels, and social media graphics. It can also work for light editorial pull quotes or section headers, especially when generous tracking and leading are available.
The font reads as lighthearted and personal, like quick pen lettering with a playful, slightly quirky elegance. Its tall proportions and looping details add a whimsical, storybook-like tone while keeping an informal, everyday feel.
The design appears intended to capture a quick, neat hand-printed look with an emphasis on height and elegance rather than density. It prioritizes personality and vertical rhythm, delivering a distinctive handwritten voice for display-oriented typography.
Capitals have a distinctive, extended presence and can dominate mixed-case settings, giving headlines a hand-drawn flair. The numerals follow the same slender, upright style, maintaining a consistent line quality across the set.
