A narrow, hand-drawn print face with lightly weighted, mostly monoline strokes and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms are tall and airy, with compact lowercase bodies and comparatively long ascenders and descenders that create a vertical, bouncy rhythm. Curves are slightly irregular and stroke joins feel organic, giving the set an intentionally imperfect, drawn-with-a-pen consistency. Counters remain open and simple, and the numerals follow the same slim, softly curved construction.
Works well for short headlines, packaging callouts, labels, and playful editorial pull quotes where an informal voice is desired. It’s also suited to greeting cards, invitations, and crafts/DIY branding where a neat but hand-rendered look helps soften the message.
The overall tone is warm and informal, with a quirky, personable charm that reads as approachable rather than polished. Its narrow, springy proportions and subtle wobble evoke handwritten notes, kids’ materials, and lighthearted packaging.
The design appears intended to deliver an easygoing, handwritten print style that stays legible while preserving the natural irregularities of pen-drawn lettering. Its narrow build and tall vertical rhythm suggest an aim to be space-efficient while still feeling expressive and personal.
The alphabet shows deliberate unevenness in stroke curvature and spacing that reinforces a handmade feel, while still maintaining clear silhouettes at text sizes. The slim proportions help it fit into tight horizontal spaces without feeling dense, especially in short lines and labels.
