A tall, condensed handwritten print with monoline strokes and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms are simple and lightly drawn, with a slightly wobbly baseline and subtle irregularities that preserve a hand-rendered rhythm while staying fairly consistent across the set. Curves are narrow and vertical (notably in C, O, S), counters are slim, and spacing feels open due to the thin stroke and vertical emphasis. Numerals echo the same narrow, linear construction, keeping a cohesive texture in running text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where a casual, handcrafted voice is desirable—such as headlines, posters, packaging, invitations, and greeting-card style messaging. It can also work for pull quotes or UI accents when a friendly, personal tone is needed and ample size/leading are available.
The overall tone is lighthearted and approachable, with a quirky, sketchbook-like charm. Its narrow, tall proportions give it a delicate, slightly eccentric personality that reads as informal and human rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture the immediacy of neat hand-printing in a refined, consistent system. The intent appears to be a readable, characterful handwritten look that stays light and unobtrusive while adding personality through tall proportions and subtle irregularity.
Capitals share the same linear, elongated structure as the lowercase, so mixed-case text maintains a uniform vertical cadence. Round shapes stay notably upright and narrow, and junctions remain clean and unembellished, reinforcing a simple, drawn-with-a-pen feel.
