A slender, monoline handwritten print with tall proportions and generous verticality. Strokes are consistently thin with softly rounded ends, producing a light, sketch-like texture. Letterforms are simplified and open, with narrow bowls and restrained counters that keep the rhythm even despite subtle, hand-drawn irregularities. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction, with smooth curves and minimal detailing for a cohesive, understated set.
Works best for short to medium-length copy where a light, handcrafted presence is desired—headlines, posters, greeting cards, quotes, and packaging accents. It can also serve as a secondary typeface for captions or labels when a subtle, human touch is needed without strong texture or contrast.
The overall tone feels gentle and informal—more like neat hand lettering than a formal text face. Its narrow, high-shouldered shapes and soft terminals give it a whimsical, approachable character that reads as light and unpretentious.
Likely designed to provide a clean, minimal handwritten print aesthetic that stays readable while conveying informality. The tall, narrow build and monoline strokes suggest an aim for airy, space-saving display typography with a gentle, personal tone.
Capitals are especially tall and linear, creating a pronounced vertical cadence in headings. The face maintains a consistent stroke weight and calm spacing, which helps longer lines remain legible while still retaining a handmade feel.
