A thin, monoline handwritten print with tall, condensed proportions and generous vertical reach in ascenders and capitals. Strokes feel slightly wobbly and organic, with rounded turns, occasional hook-like terminals, and a lightly uneven baseline that reinforces its drawn-by-hand rhythm. Counters are open and simple, and spacing is moderately loose, giving the letters an airy, sketch-like texture at text sizes. Figures follow the same narrow, single-stroke logic, with a distinctive, looped ‘2’ and softly rounded ‘0’/‘8’ forms.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a handcrafted tone is desired—titles, pull quotes, invitations, greeting cards, and lighthearted packaging. It can also work for editorial-style headlines or whimsical posters where a narrow, airy texture helps keep layouts light.
The font reads as informal and personal, with a gentle, storybook charm. Its spindly lines and idiosyncratic shapes add a quirky, handmade warmth that feels approachable rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to mimic neat, upright handwriting in an unconnected print style, prioritizing personality and a lightly whimsical rhythm over strict geometric regularity. Its tall, condensed build suggests an aim to fit expressive copy into tight horizontal spaces while maintaining a distinctive handmade presence.
Capitals are notably tall and narrow, creating a strong vertical cadence in headlines. The overall consistency is intentionally imperfect, with small variations in curve smoothness and terminal treatment that contribute to its authentic handwritten character.
