A narrow, hand-drawn print face with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms keep an upright stance but retain an organic, slightly bouncy baseline and gently uneven curves that read as naturally written rather than mechanically constructed. Counters are open and simple, with minimal interior detailing, and the overall rhythm alternates between compact, straight-sided shapes and rounded bowls, giving the texture a lively, sketch-like consistency. Numerals match the same casual construction, with straightforward forms and modest irregularities that reinforce the handmade feel.
Well-suited to short to medium passages where a friendly, handwritten voice is desired—children’s and educational materials, playful branding, craft or food packaging, and casual posters. It also works nicely for captions, pull quotes, and social graphics where a narrow, informal print look helps fit more text without feeling dense.
The tone is light, approachable, and informal, with a cheerful classroom or notebook energy. Its narrow proportions and easygoing stroke work make it feel chatty and personable rather than serious or authoritative.
Designed to capture the look of neat, hand-printed lettering in a compact width, balancing legibility with a relaxed, personable texture. The aim appears to be an everyday handwritten style that feels clean and usable while preserving small, natural imperfections for warmth.
Consistency is strong enough for continuous text, but the subtle variations in curve smoothness and joins keep it distinctly human. The narrow build makes lines feel airy while still maintaining legibility through clear silhouettes and open counters.
