A slender, hand-drawn print face with tall proportions and a lightly wavering baseline. Strokes are thin and mostly monoline, with subtle pressure-like swell in a few curves and terminals. Forms are open and simplified, mixing rounded bowls with occasional sharp joins; counters are generous and spacing feels loose, creating an overall airy texture. Capitals are narrow and elongated, while lowercase maintains a small, delicate core with long ascenders and descenders that add vertical rhythm.
Works best for short to medium-length text where its airy, handwritten texture can be appreciated—such as headlines, posters, invitations, greeting cards, packaging callouts, and quote graphics. It can also suit light editorial sidebars or captions when set with ample size and leading.
The font reads as friendly and informal, with a slightly eccentric, doodled personality. Its lightness and uneven stroke behavior give it a human, handwritten sincerity rather than a polished display finish. The tone is playful and approachable, leaning toward whimsical without becoming overly decorative.
Likely designed to capture a quick, pen-drawn note style in a clean, unconnected print structure. The emphasis appears to be on a light, whimsical voice with straightforward letter recognition and a deliberately imperfect, human rhythm.
Several letterforms show intentional idiosyncrasies (narrow ovals, angular diagonals, and slightly irregular curves), which enhances the handmade character but can make dense paragraphs feel busy at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same thin, drawn line quality and remain simple and legible in headings.
