A tall, condensed handwritten print with a steady, monoline stroke and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are simplified and open, with rounded terminals and a slightly bouncy baseline rhythm that keeps the texture lively rather than rigid. Uppercase glyphs are narrow and upright in structure but lean in motion, while the lowercase is compact with small counters and a notably short x-height relative to ascenders. Curves are smooth and slightly elastic, and the numerals follow the same slim, handwritten construction.
Best suited to short-to-medium text settings where a casual handwritten voice is desired—headlines, poster copy, packaging labels, menu sections, and invitations. The slim, vertical texture can also work well for UI accents or captions when a friendly, informal tone is needed, especially with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is informal and upbeat, like quick marker or pen lettering used for notes and headings. Its narrow, airy rhythm reads energetic and personable, giving text a light, conversational feel with a subtle vintage sign-lettering flavor.
Designed to capture the immediacy of hand-printed lettering in a clean, repeatable way, balancing legibility with a lively, personal rhythm. The narrow proportions and slanted stance suggest an intention to create emphasis and motion without relying on heavy stroke contrast or connected script forms.
The alphabet shows deliberate, repeatable shapes rather than connected cursive, but with enough hand variation to avoid a purely mechanical look. The narrow proportions and tall ascenders create strong vertical momentum, and the simple, open forms help keep longer lines from feeling heavy.
