A tall, condensed hand-drawn print style with mostly monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are narrow and upright with slight irregularities in curves and joins that keep the rhythm lively without becoming messy. Counters are compact, ascenders and capitals feel elongated, and the lowercase shows a notably smaller x-height relative to the ascenders. Several shapes lean toward simplified, handwritten construction—single-storey forms, modest hooks, and occasional asymmetric curves—while maintaining consistent stroke thickness and clear silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and book covers where a handcrafted, characterful voice is desired. It can also work for short bursts of copy—captions, pull quotes, or greeting card text—when you want an informal, playful tone while keeping a compact, space-saving width.
The overall tone is quirky and friendly, with a gently retro, handcrafted feel. Its narrow, tall proportions add a slightly theatrical “poster hand-lettering” energy, making text feel informal and personable rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to mimic casual hand-lettered print with a controlled, catalog-friendly consistency. Its condensed structure and tall capitals suggest a focus on impactful display typography that feels personal and slightly whimsical.
Spacing appears fairly even for a hand-drawn design, helping longer lines remain readable despite the condensed width. Numerals and capitals share the same tall, narrow stance, giving headlines a cohesive vertical rhythm.
