A tall, condensed handwritten print with monoline strokes and slightly irregular contours, as if drawn with a steady marker. Letterforms are mostly upright with narrow counters and a compact footprint, while subtle wobble, uneven terminals, and occasional bulges keep the texture human. Rounded shapes (like O and 0) are narrow-oval, verticals are prominent, and joins stay mostly unconnected, giving the alphabet a clean but imperfect rhythm. Overall spacing is lively and a bit uneven, reinforcing the hand-drawn character.
It works best for short to medium display copy where personality matters—posters, packaging, greeting cards, craft labels, and informal branding. In longer passages it remains readable, but the narrow proportions and hand-drawn irregularities make it more suitable for headlines, pull quotes, and playful text blocks than for dense editorial settings.
The font feels quirky and friendly, with a light mischief that reads as casual and approachable rather than polished or formal. Its tall, narrow stance adds a slightly oddball energy—playful and expressive, like quick lettering for notes, labels, or crafty headlines.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of hand lettering while remaining consistent enough for repeatable typesetting. Its narrow, upright construction and monoline strokes aim for clear, compact display text with an intentionally imperfect, human finish.
The glyph set shows consistent stroke thickness and a repeated hand-rendered jitter across both uppercase and lowercase, helping it hold together in longer lines. Numerals match the same narrow, drawn look and sit comfortably alongside the letters, maintaining the informal tone in mixed text.
