A tall, condensed hand-drawn print with monoline strokes and lightly uneven outlines. Letterforms lean on simple geometric construction—straight stems, narrow bowls, and squared-off corners—while retaining subtle wobble and irregular stroke terminals that keep the texture human. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; counters are small and vertical proportions are emphasized, especially in capitals and ascenders. The overall impression is clean enough to read in short bursts, with intentionally imperfect consistency that reads as drawn rather than typeset.
Well-suited to display uses where a handmade, casual voice is desirable—posters, zines, comic-style captions, packaging accents, and short headlines. It works best at moderate to large sizes where the narrow forms and small counters remain clear.
The font conveys an informal, quirky tone—like quick marker lettering on a handmade label or a playful note. Its narrow, tall proportions add a slightly eccentric, wiry energy, balancing friendliness with a mildly offbeat character.
The design appears intended to capture quick, hand-rendered print lettering with a deliberately narrow footprint. It prioritizes personality and a handmade rhythm over strict typographic regularity, aiming for approachable, playful communication in display contexts.
Capitals feel particularly narrow and vertical, giving headings a spindly silhouette. Several letters show boxy curves and squared shoulders, which lends a simple, almost stencil-like clarity without becoming mechanical. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic, keeping a cohesive handwritten texture across alphanumerics.
