A tall, condensed hand-drawn print style with mostly unconnected forms and a gently irregular rhythm. Strokes show subtle tapering and slight wobble, with rounded terminals and occasional sharper, brushlike points. Letterforms lean mostly upright and feel narrow overall, while widths vary enough to keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Counters are compact, and ascenders/descenders are noticeably long, giving lines a vertical, slightly spindly silhouette.
Well suited to short-to-medium headlines, posters, and display text where a friendly handmade voice is desired. It can work nicely for packaging, café menus, event promos, and kid-focused or whimsical branding. In longer paragraphs it will read best with generous spacing and larger sizes to let the narrow shapes breathe.
The font conveys a playful, informal tone with a quirky, homemade charm. Its narrow, lively shapes and uneven hand pressure feel personable and approachable, suggesting quick signage or casual notes rather than formal typesetting.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of hand lettering while keeping letterforms clean and recognizable for display use. Its condensed proportions and animated stroke character suggest a focus on expressive, space-efficient titles and casual branding.
Capitals have a simplified, sign-painter clarity, while the lowercase adds more idiosyncratic curves and soft hooks. Numerals follow the same hand-inked logic, with rounded shapes and slight asymmetries that help them blend naturally with the letters in running text.
