A tall, condensed handwritten print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms feel drawn with a steady marker: stems are straight but slightly wavy, curves are simplified, and counters are compact. Proportions are narrow with generous vertical emphasis, and spacing reads a bit irregular in a natural, hand-rendered way, giving lines a lively rhythm.
Works well for packaging and labels that want a personable, hand-lettered feel, as well as posters, quotes, and social graphics where a narrow footprint is helpful. It also suits children’s or casual lifestyle headlines, short captions, and punchy callouts where a friendly, informal tone is desired.
The overall tone is light, informal, and approachable, with a mild quirkiness that suggests personal notes or crafty labeling. Its narrow, upright stance keeps it neat while the hand-drawn wobble prevents it from feeling sterile.
Designed to capture a quick, hand-printed look in a compact, vertical format—prioritizing charm and personality over geometric precision. The consistent monoline construction and simplified shapes aim for easy, readable display text with an intentionally handmade cadence.
Capitals are especially tall and slim, creating strong vertical texture in all-caps settings. Curves and joins are kept simple, and the consistent stroke thickness helps maintain clarity at display sizes, while the handmade irregularities become more noticeable as sizes get smaller.
