A compact, hand-drawn print face with rounded terminals and a slightly brushy stroke that shows gentle modulation at curves and joins. Letters are narrow and vertically oriented, with a lively baseline rhythm and small, consistent irregularities that keep the texture organic without becoming messy. Forms lean toward simplified construction—single-storey lowercase a and g, soft shoulders, and narrow counters—creating an even, dark color in text while maintaining clear silhouettes. Numerals follow the same narrow, handwritten logic with open shapes and soft endings.
Works well for short to medium-length display text such as packaging callouts, posters, social graphics, invitations, greeting cards, and playful branding. It can also serve as an accent face for menus or labels where a friendly handwritten note-like voice is desired, especially when space is tight due to its narrow width.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a bouncy, homemade charm that feels informal and personable. Its narrow, tall proportions add a touch of whimsy and energy, suggesting quick marker or brush lettering rather than polished signage. Overall it reads friendly and slightly quirky, suited to lighthearted messaging.
Likely designed to emulate neat, informal hand lettering with a compact footprint—delivering a friendly, approachable voice while keeping a strong, solid presence on the page. The goal appears to balance handmade character with enough consistency for readable mixed-case phrases and punchy display lines.
The narrow set and dark overall color make spacing and line breaks feel compact, while the rounded stroke endings help prevent harsh spots in larger sizes. Capitals are simple and sturdy, pairing smoothly with the lowercase for mixed-case settings; the overall texture stays consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
