A tall, slim, hand-drawn print style with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms show gentle irregularities in curvature and alignment that preserve a natural marker- or pen-drawn rhythm while remaining consistently constructed. Curves are narrow and vertical, with open bowls and counters; joins stay simple and unembellished. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, giving an organic texture without becoming messy.
This font works well for short-to-medium text in informal contexts such as packaging, café or boutique branding, posters, greeting cards, and social graphics where a friendly handwritten feel is desired. Its narrow, tall proportions can help fit longer words into tight horizontal spaces for titles, labels, and callouts.
The overall tone is approachable and lighthearted, with a quirky, homemade character. It reads like neat casual handwriting—friendly rather than formal—making text feel personal and informal.
The design appears intended to mimic neat, unconnected handwritten printing with a controlled, consistent stroke while retaining small imperfections for warmth. It aims for quick readability at display sizes while adding personality through its slender proportions and hand-drawn rhythm.
Ascenders and capitals appear notably tall relative to the lowercase, contributing to a lanky silhouette. Straight strokes have a slight softness rather than crisp geometric rigidity, and rounded forms (like O/C/S) keep a smooth, buoyant presence. Numerals follow the same narrow, hand-drawn logic, staying simple and readable.
