A tall, condensed hand-drawn print with monoline strokes and softly uneven contours. Letterforms are narrow with generous vertical emphasis, rounded terminals, and lightly irregular curves that keep the rhythm lively without becoming messy. Counters are small and simple, joins are straightforward, and the overall construction stays consistent across upper- and lowercase while preserving a sketched, human cadence. Numerals follow the same slim, upright proportions with open, readable shapes.
Works best for short to medium-length text where a friendly, hand-lettered voice is desired—such as posters, display headlines, playful packaging, book covers, classroom materials, and craft or DIY branding. The condensed proportions make it useful when space is tight and a tall, characterful look is needed.
The font feels informal and approachable, with a quirky, storybook-like charm. Its slight wobble and narrow, elongated silhouettes create a playful tone that reads as handmade and personal rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to mimic casual, hand-printed lettering in a narrow, vertically oriented style, balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect, human finish. It appears aimed at adding personality and warmth to display typography without relying on connected script forms.
Uppercase forms are especially elongated and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps a clear, printed structure that supports continuous reading. The spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, contributing to an organic texture in words and lines.
