A slim, hand-drawn print with tall proportions and a lightly irregular baseline. Strokes feel mostly monolinear with subtle pressure variation and slightly wobbly contours, giving the letters an organic, sketched quality. The forms are open and uncluttered, with narrow counters and compact lowercase bodies contrasted by relatively long ascenders and descenders. Terminals often taper or hook gently, and spacing reads slightly uneven in a natural way while remaining consistent enough for continuous text.
Best suited to short-to-medium copy where an informal voice is desired, such as headlines, captions, packaging callouts, greeting cards, and social or editorial graphics. It can also work for educational or craft-oriented materials where a hand-made texture helps soften the layout.
The overall tone is informal and personable, with a whimsical, notebook-like character. Its narrow, lanky rhythm and small eccentricities make it feel lively and approachable rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, readable handwritten print that retains the spontaneity of marker or pen lettering. By keeping strokes light and shapes narrow while allowing small variations, it aims to add warmth and character without sacrificing clarity.
Uppercase shapes are simple and readable, while the lowercase introduces more personality through looped joins and occasional curl-like terminals. Numerals follow the same drawn rhythm, staying light and legible with minimal ornament.
