A tall, condensed hand-drawn print face with lively, slightly uneven stroke edges and modest contrast. Letterforms are mostly upright with a narrow footprint, open counters, and simplified construction that suggests quick marker or brush-pen lettering. Strokes show gentle tapering and occasional wobble, creating a natural rhythm; terminals are blunt to softly pointed, and curves feel elastic rather than geometric. Spacing is intentionally a bit irregular, reinforcing the handmade texture while keeping words readable in the sample text.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where a handmade voice is desired—posters, packaging callouts, book or zine covers, social graphics, and display headlines. It can also work for captions or pull quotes when set with generous leading, letting the textured strokes and narrow forms stay clear.
The overall tone is informal and personable, with a quirky, storybook-like energy. Its narrow, tall proportions and visible stroke texture give it a crafty, indie feel that reads as spontaneous rather than polished.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering in an upright print style, balancing legibility with visible human variation. Its condensed build and textured strokes aim to deliver an expressive, crafted look for display settings without relying on connected script forms.
Capitals have a slightly poster-like presence due to their height and narrowness, while lowercase keeps a compact x-height and quick, handwritten joins-free forms. Numerals match the same drawn-in-ink character, with simple shapes and slightly varied widths that maintain the organic cadence across mixed text.
