A condensed, monoline handwritten style with tall, slender proportions and a lightly irregular pen rhythm. Strokes stay low-contrast and mostly upright, with long ascenders/descenders and narrow counters that give the alphabet a wiry, vertical feel. Terminals often taper or hook, and curves are slightly angular in places, preserving a drawn-by-hand texture while keeping forms clear. Lowercase is compact with small bowls and short internal spaces, while capitals are taller and more linear, adding emphasis in mixed-case settings.
Works best for short-to-medium display copy where a handmade voice is desired—posters, packaging callouts, social media graphics, quotes, and branding accents. It can also suit UI micro-headings or labels when a casual tone is needed, especially where narrow width helps fit text into tight spaces.
The overall tone is informal and personable, like quick marker lettering used for notes or labels. Its narrow, tall shapes add a slightly edgy energy, while the loose, hand-rendered irregularities keep it approachable rather than formal.
Designed to capture quick, contemporary handwriting in a condensed footprint, balancing legibility with visible pen character. The intent seems to be a lively, human alternative to clean sans text, suitable for expressive headlines and informal messaging.
Spacing appears naturally uneven in a way that supports the handwritten character, and the distinct height differences between capitals, ascenders, and the small lowercase cores create a lively vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow, hand-drawn construction, reading more like written figures than geometric lining digits.
