A slim, hand-drawn print style with tall proportions and a slightly wobbly baseline. Strokes are thin with modest, natural-looking contrast and subtle ink-like texture, producing gently uneven edges and occasional thickened joins. Curves are narrow and verticalized, with small apertures and compact counters; spacing varies slightly from letter to letter, reinforcing the handmade rhythm.
Works best in short-to-medium text where a handmade personality is desired—posters, book covers, packaging, labels, and editorial pull quotes. It also suits captions and UI accents when a casual, human touch is needed, especially at sizes where the narrow strokes can remain clear.
The overall tone is quirky and approachable, like quick marker notes or a hand-lettered caption. Its narrow, wiry forms add a mildly eerie or offbeat flavor while staying friendly and readable, giving text a personal, informal voice.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, unconnected hand printing with a consistent narrow footprint and a lightly textured stroke. Its goal is to add character and informality without becoming overly decorative, balancing legibility with a distinctive, slightly eccentric silhouette.
Uppercase characters are particularly tall and columnar, while lowercase forms remain compact with simple, single-storey constructions (notably a and g). Numerals follow the same narrow, handwritten logic, with a distinctive, slightly curved 2 and a slender 1. The texture and irregularity are consistent enough to feel intentional rather than distressed.
