A monoline, hand-drawn print style with softly rounded strokes and gentle, uneven curves that keep the letterforms lively. Proportions are tall and condensed overall, with narrow counters and a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm in running text. Terminals are blunt and rounded rather than sharp, and joins remain simple and open, giving the shapes a clean, sketched clarity. Uppercase forms are compact and straightforward, while lowercase and numerals show small idiosyncrasies and subtle width changes that reinforce the drawn-by-hand feel.
Well suited to short-to-medium display settings where an informal, handcrafted tone is desirable—such as packaging, café menus, craft labels, event posters, classroom materials, and playful branding. It can also work for pull quotes and subheads when you want a narrow, friendly voice without heavy contrast.
The font reads as approachable and informal, with a lighthearted, quirky personality. Its narrow, tall stance adds a bit of whimsy while staying clear and legible, making it feel friendly rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of neat hand lettering—simple, monoline shapes with rounded endings and a subtly imperfect rhythm—balancing readability with an expressive, personal touch.
Distinctive, simplified construction appears across the set—single-storey lowercase forms, smooth bowls, and gently curved diagonals—creating a consistent “marker/pen” texture. The narrow set width helps fit longer words, while the hand-drawn irregularities keep the color from looking mechanical.
