A tall, condensed handwritten print with mostly monoline strokes and softly rounded corners. Letterforms are narrow and upright, with gentle, slightly irregular curves that keep a consistent rhythm without looking mechanical. Terminals tend to be softened and occasionally flare into small hooks or teardrop-like ends (notably in shapes like J, j, f, and g), while counters stay open and clear. The overall texture is even and clean, with a tidy baseline and modest, hand-drawn variation that reads as intentional rather than rough.
Works well for short-to-medium text in applications that benefit from a casual, handcrafted voice—such as posters, playful headlines, packaging, labels, classroom materials, invitations, and social media graphics. Its condensed proportions help fit longer words into tighter spaces, making it useful for titles, menus, and signage where a friendly tone is desired.
The font conveys an easygoing, personable tone—lighthearted and a bit quirky, like neat marker lettering or casual hand-printing. Its condensed height gives it energy and a youthful feel, while the soft edges keep it friendly and non-threatening.
Likely designed to mimic neat, informal hand printing while staying compact and readable. The consistent monoline construction and softened terminals suggest an aim for an approachable display face that feels human-made, with just enough idiosyncrasy to stand out in branding and headline use.
Distinctive details include a narrow, vertical emphasis; a compact, single-storey feel in many lowercase forms; and simple numerals that match the same narrow, upright stance. The italic-like hooks on select characters add character without breaking overall legibility, especially in short phrases and headings.
