A thin, monoline handwritten print with a spindly stroke and lightly sketchy terminals. Letterforms are mostly upright but loosely constructed, with irregular curves, occasional wobble, and inconsistent stem widths that feel like pen pressure rather than formal contrast. Proportions are condensed and variable, with uneven cap heights and a small x-height relative to the tall ascenders, producing a rangy vertical rhythm. Spacing is somewhat erratic, and several glyphs show distinctive, slightly exaggerated joins and hooks that emphasize the hand-made character.
Best suited to short display settings where its personality can carry—headlines, titles, posters, book covers, and playful packaging. It can also work for brief annotations or pull quotes when a hand-drawn, personal tone is desired, but the irregular spacing and narrow texture make it less ideal for long body text.
The overall tone is quirky and whimsical, with a slightly eccentric, storybook quality. Its narrow, wiry texture reads as personal and informal, suggesting quick notes, marginalia, or a playful handmade label rather than polished typography.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of pen-drawn lettering—lightweight, narrow, and characterful—while keeping forms recognizable and readable. Its purpose is more about conveying a human, whimsical voice than achieving typographic uniformity.
Capitals are expressive and idiosyncratic, with a few forms featuring pronounced loops or interior marks that make them feel bespoke. Numerals share the same light, handwritten construction and remain simple and legible, though the overall texture stays intentionally uneven and organic.
