A compact, hand-drawn print face with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letters are narrow with tall ascenders and a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm, creating a lively vertical texture in text. Curves are smooth and simplified, counters are small but open enough for legibility, and joins stay clean rather than brushy. Spacing and widths vary subtly across glyphs, reinforcing an informal, drawn-by-hand consistency without looking messy.
Well-suited to short to medium copy where a personable, informal voice is desired—posters, packaging, café menus, craft and DIY branding, children’s materials, and social graphics. The narrow proportions make it useful when space is tight while still keeping a friendly presence at display sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a quirky, handmade charm that feels conversational rather than formal. Its narrow, tall shapes add a lighthearted, slightly whimsical energy, making it read as friendly signage or casual note-taking.
Designed to capture the look of neat, hand-printed lettering: simple, narrow, and confident, with gentle imperfections that keep it human. The intent appears to prioritize warmth and personality over strict typographic uniformity, while remaining clean enough for everyday display use.
Capital forms are especially tall and streamlined, helping headlines feel vertical and rhythmic, while lowercase maintains simple, readable silhouettes. Numerals follow the same rounded, narrow construction, staying visually consistent with the letters.
