A hand-drawn, narrow display face with softly irregular geometry and an inked, monoline feel. Strokes are built as dark outlines with a consistent inner inline that reads like a carved highlight, creating a lively, hollowed stroke effect without heavy contrast. Curves are round and slightly wobbly, stems are tall and slender, and spacing varies subtly from glyph to glyph for an informal rhythm. The lowercase shows a relatively small x-height with long ascenders/descenders, while numerals are open and simply constructed with the same inline treatment.
Best suited to display use where the inline detail can be appreciated: posters, cover art, packaging, café/retail signage, and upbeat branding. It can also work for short pulls, quotes, and social graphics where a friendly, crafted voice is desired, rather than long-form text.
The overall tone is playful and personable, like doodled lettering refined into a consistent system. The inline detail adds a lightly vintage, sign-painter flavor while keeping the mood bright and casual. It feels informal and expressive rather than technical or corporate.
The design appears intended to emulate casual marker or pen lettering while adding an inline cut to create visual interest and a decorative, dimensional accent. Its narrow proportions and tall lowercase help it stack into compact headlines while maintaining a lively, hand-rendered character.
The inline is most noticeable on verticals and outer curves, giving letters a dimensional, outlined look that stays legible at display sizes. Slight inconsistencies in stroke edges and widths contribute to the handmade charm and help avoid a rigid, geometric feel.
