A compact, hand-drawn print face with tall proportions and a tight overall footprint. Strokes are monolinear and softly rounded, with subtle wobble and slight irregularities that keep the rhythm lively without becoming messy. Counters are small and mostly closed, terminals tend to be blunt or gently tapered, and verticals dominate, giving the letters a narrow, upright stance. The lowercase shows a modest x-height relative to the ascenders, and the numerals follow the same simple, rounded construction for consistent texture in text.
Works best for display-sized settings where a friendly, handmade voice is desired—posters, product packaging, greeting cards, classroom or kids-oriented materials, and casual branding. It can also serve for short pull quotes or UI accents where a compact, personable tone is helpful, rather than long-form reading.
The tone is cheerful and approachable, like neat marker lettering or a carefully drawn note. Its narrow, upright posture and bouncy curves add a lightly quirky personality that feels informal and human rather than typographic or corporate.
Likely intended to capture the feel of tidy hand lettering in a space-saving, upright style—balancing charm and readability with a consistent monoline structure and simple, rounded forms.
The design maintains a consistent hand-rendered logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing an even gray value while still showing natural variation. Spacing appears relatively tight, helping it stay compact in headlines and short lines while preserving legibility through clear, open forms.
