A wiry, hand-drawn print face with monolinear strokes and lightly uneven pressure that produces subtle thick–thin variation. The letterforms are tall and slim with open counters, loose geometry, and gently inconsistent curves and terminals, creating a natural, sketched rhythm. Spacing and widths vary per glyph, and the overall texture is airy and lightly jittered rather than rigidly aligned.
It works best for short to medium-length text where a casual, hand-rendered voice is desirable—headlines, posters, product packaging, social graphics, and playful editorial callouts. The narrow proportions make it useful when you need an expressive look without consuming much horizontal space.
The font feels informal and personable, with a quirky, slightly eccentric charm that suggests quick handwriting refined into a readable print. Its narrow, springy forms give it a lively tone that reads as friendly and approachable rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of handwritten print while maintaining consistent legibility across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Its controlled irregularities and airy strokes aim to communicate warmth and spontaneity in display settings.
Ascenders tend to run tall, while the lowercase appears comparatively small, reinforcing a compact x-height and a high, lanky silhouette in text. Rounded letters stay open and light, and many terminals end in soft hooks or tapered flicks that emphasize the hand-made character.
