A tall, condensed hand-drawn print with mostly monoline strokes and gently tapered terminals. Letterforms are narrow and upright with a lively, slightly uneven rhythm, showing subtle wobble and irregular stroke edges that mimic ink or marker. Curves are softly rounded (notably in O/C/G) while some joins and diagonals sharpen into pointed, sketchy corners (as in W, M, V). Spacing feels open and airy, and the overall proportions lean vertically, giving the text a light, columnar texture.
Best suited to short to medium-length display settings where its condensed, hand-drawn personality can be appreciated—headlines, captions, packaging callouts, event flyers, and playful branding. It can also work for children’s or craft-oriented materials, especially when paired with a calmer companion font for longer reading.
The font reads as informal and personable, with a quirky, storybook-like charm. Its narrow silhouettes and hand-rendered inconsistencies create an expressive, slightly mischievous tone that feels human and approachable rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, narrow handwritten print that feels spontaneous and friendly while maintaining consistent structure across the alphabet and numerals. Its controlled upright stance and slim proportions suggest it was built for space-efficient display and informal editorial use with a distinct handcrafted voice.
Capitals are especially slim and tall, and many glyphs show small asymmetries that enhance the handmade character. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright logic, with simple, legible shapes and a lightly drawn presence that keeps blocks of text from feeling heavy.
