A compact, hand-drawn print style with tall, narrow letterforms and softly rounded terminals. Strokes read as mostly monolinear with gentle, natural waviness and subtle thick–thin variation consistent with a felt-tip or marker. The baseline and verticals are slightly uneven in a deliberate way, producing a lively rhythm; counters are small and compact, and curves are simplified rather than geometric. Spacing feels irregular and organic, with noticeable width differences between glyphs that enhance the handmade character.
This font works best for short-to-medium text where personality matters: posters, playful packaging, craft labels, classroom materials, and casual editorial callouts. It also suits logos or title treatments that want a handmade feel without becoming cursive. For longer passages, its compact proportions and irregular rhythm are better used in moderation, such as subheads, pull quotes, or short captions.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a whimsical, doodled energy that feels personal rather than polished. Its narrow, upright stance keeps it tidy while the wobbly strokes and slightly inconsistent shapes add charm and humor. The result is friendly and youthful, suited to lighthearted messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand printing—like marker lettering on signs—balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect, human touch. Its narrow stance and simplified shapes prioritize clarity while preserving the charm of drawn strokes.
Capital forms are clean and legible but retain hand-drawn quirks, while lowercase letters are simple and compact with minimal flourishes. Numerals match the same marker-drawn logic, leaning toward rounded, slightly wonky silhouettes that maintain consistency across the set.
