A tall, condensed hand-drawn print with monoline strokes and a lightly irregular, pen-like rhythm. Forms are simplified and open, with rounded turns and occasional soft hooks at terminals. Curves are narrow and vertical stress is emphasized, giving many letters a long, upright silhouette; counters stay small and neat, and spacing feels lightly varied in a natural handwritten way. Capitals are especially elongated (notably A, M, N, W), while lowercase remains compact with modest ascenders and descenders and simple, single-storey constructions.
Best suited to short display settings where a casual, hand-written voice is desired—such as packaging, labels, posters, invitations, and social graphics. The tall, condensed build can help fit more characters into narrow spaces while maintaining a light, friendly presence.
The overall tone is lighthearted and unpretentious, like tidy handwriting made for labeling or notes. Its narrow, lofty proportions add a quirky, slightly whimsical character while still reading as clean and approachable.
The design appears intended to capture a neat, informal print handwriting style with a slim, elongated proportion for a distinctive display feel. It aims for charm and clarity through simple monoline construction, gentle rounding, and subtle hand-drawn variation.
The figure set follows the same slim, drawn-by-hand logic, with simple shapes and minimal ornament; round digits like 0, 8, and 9 stay open and slender. In text, the consistent thin stroke and verticality create an airy texture, while small irregularities keep it from feeling mechanical.
