A compact, handwritten print face with tall, rounded forms and softly tapered stroke endings that suggest a marker or brush-pen. Strokes are largely monolinear with subtle swelling at curves and terminals, producing a smooth, informal texture. Proportions are condensed with generous ascenders and descenders, and the lowercase shows a small x-height relative to the overall vertical reach. Letterforms lean slightly and maintain an uneven, hand-drawn rhythm, with simplified shapes and open counters that keep text readable despite the tight width.
Works best for short to medium lengths where a casual, handmade voice is desired: posters, titles, book covers, packaging, labels, and small-brand identity elements. It can also suit invitations, classroom materials, and kid-oriented or DIY themes where an informal printed look should stay legible at display sizes.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a lightly quirky, storybook character. Its condensed, upright-yet-slightly-leaning stance and rounded terminals create an energetic, chatty feel that reads as personal and handmade rather than formal or technical.
Designed to mimic quick, confident hand lettering in an unconnected print style, emphasizing personality and spontaneity while keeping forms simple and readable. The condensed width and lively vertical proportions suggest an intent to fit more characters into a line without losing a playful, handcrafted presence.
Capitals are tall and simple, mixing straight stems with rounded bowls; the lowercase includes expressive descenders (notably in g, j, y) that add bounce to lines of text. Numerals follow the same friendly, hand-rendered logic, with rounded curves and a slightly irregular, human cadence across the set.
