A tall, monoline hand-drawn print with slender stems, rounded terminals, and lightly irregular stroke edges that preserve a natural marker/pen feel. Proportions skew narrow with generous verticality, while letter widths vary enough to keep an organic rhythm. Curves are soft and slightly asymmetric, counters are open, and joins are simple, giving the alphabet a clean but intentionally imperfect texture. Overall spacing reads airy and even, supporting legibility despite the informal construction.
Well-suited to short to medium-length text where a human, informal voice is desired—such as headlines, posters, product labels, greeting cards, classroom materials, and social media graphics. It works best at sizes where the slender strokes and hand-drawn irregularities can read clearly.
The font conveys an easygoing, personable tone—more like neat handwriting than engineered typography. Its gentle wobble and narrow, elongated forms feel whimsical and approachable, suggesting informality, humor, and a hand-made sensibility.
The design appears intended to emulate tidy, everyday handwriting in a clean printed style, prioritizing approachability and personality over typographic rigidity. Its narrow, tall proportions and gentle irregularity aim to add a friendly, handmade presence to contemporary layouts.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and streamlined, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward printed structure with minimal flourishes. Numerals follow the same simple, handwritten logic, with consistent monoline weight and rounded turns that match the letters.
