A tall, condensed handwritten print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are simplified and slightly irregular, with a gentle wobble in vertical stems and open, airy counters that keep the texture light. Proportions lean narrow and vertical, while widths vary per character, creating a lively rhythm rather than a rigid, mechanical cadence. Numerals and caps follow the same pared-back, drawn look, staying consistent in stroke weight and corner treatment.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly, handmade feel is desired—such as children’s materials, classroom worksheets, craft and boutique packaging, café menus, and informal posters. Its condensed build can be useful when space is tight while still aiming for a warm, personal tone.
The overall tone is approachable and upbeat, with a casual, doodled charm that feels human and unpretentious. Its narrow, upright stance adds a tidy clarity, while the subtle unevenness keeps it relaxed and personable.
Likely designed to capture the look of neat hand-printing: narrow, upright letters with consistent stroke weight and small natural variations that signal authenticity. The emphasis appears to be on approachability and quick readability while preserving a distinctly drawn character.
Ascenders tend to run tall and prominent, and the lowercase maintains a compact body that emphasizes the verticality of the design. Curves are smooth and slightly asymmetrical, and several forms show deliberate simplification (single-storey-style shapes and minimal detailing) that reinforces the informal, hand-rendered voice.
