A tall, condensed handwritten print with a lightly wobbly baseline and subtly uneven stroke edges that preserve a drawn-by-hand feel. Letterforms are mostly monoline to gently modulated, with rounded terminals, narrow counters, and occasional bulb-like joins that add charm without becoming fully brush-script. Uppercase shapes are elongated and airy, while lowercase remains compact with a notably small x-height and long ascenders/descenders, creating a high-contrast rhythm in line texture. Overall spacing is on the open side for such narrow forms, helping the glyphs stay distinct in running text.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where personality matters—headlines, posters, invitations, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. The condensed build can help fit more characters into tight spaces while still reading clearly at display sizes, and it can also work for brief captions or pull quotes when generous tracking and leading are used.
The tone is informal and personable, balancing a neat marker-note look with a slightly eccentric, storybook quirkiness. It reads as approachable and lighthearted rather than polished or corporate, suggesting hand-labeled warmth and a playful editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver an authentic, hand-lettered print voice that feels quick, human, and slightly quirky. Its narrow, tall construction suggests a focus on compact display typography that stays friendly and readable while retaining visible hand-made texture.
Distinctive tall caps and narrow proportions give the font strong vertical momentum, which can feel lively in headings. The figures follow the same hand-drawn logic, with simple, rounded forms that match the alphabet’s casual texture.
