A hand-drawn print face with tall, slender proportions and a lightly uneven, inked stroke. The linework is mostly monoline with subtle contrast and visible texture, giving stems and curves a slightly scratchy edge. Letterforms are simple and open, with rounded bowls and narrow counters, and the rhythm is irregular in a natural way, including small variations in width, curvature, and terminal shapes. Ascenders are prominent while lowercase proportions stay compact, creating a lively vertical cadence in text.
This font works best for short to medium-length text where a handmade voice is desired: packaging, posters, book covers, event flyers, and greeting cards. It can also serve as a distinctive headline or pull-quote face when you want a casual, illustrated feel without switching to a connected script.
The overall tone is informal and quirky, like quick marker lettering or a sketchbook title. Its gentle wobble and textured strokes make it feel approachable, playful, and a bit eccentric rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the character of informal hand lettering in a clean, readable print style, emphasizing personality through slight irregularities and textured strokes while keeping letterforms straightforward for quick recognition.
Caps read especially tall and display-like, while the lowercase maintains legibility through clear, unconnected forms. Numerals match the same hand-rendered texture and narrow stance, keeping a consistent, lightly distressed color across mixed text.
