A tall, slim, monoline handwritten print with softly rounded terminals and gently irregular stroke behavior that mimics felt-tip or marker writing. Forms are simplified and open, with narrow bowls and long vertical stems that create an airy rhythm. The lowercase keeps a straightforward printed structure (single-storey a and g), while caps are similarly streamlined, producing a clean, consistent texture despite subtle hand-drawn wobble. Spacing reads generous and even, helping the thin strokes stay legible in running text.
Works well for packaging, tags, and labels where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, and for greeting cards, invitations, and social graphics that benefit from a casual personal tone. It can also suit posters or short headlines, and children’s or educational materials where simple, printed letterforms aid quick recognition.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, like neat hand lettering on a note or classroom label. Its narrow, vertical stance feels tidy and calm, while the slight unevenness adds warmth and a human touch rather than strict precision.
The design appears intended to provide a neat, everyday handwritten print that feels informal and human while remaining clear in text. Its simplified shapes and consistent monoline strokes suggest an emphasis on easy readability with a warm, handmade personality.
Figures are simple and readable with minimal ornament, matching the alphabet’s understated geometry. The font’s tall proportions and narrow counters emphasize vertical rhythm, making it especially distinctive in headlines and short text where its hand-drawn character can be appreciated.
