A hand-drawn print face with wiry, monoline strokes and subtly uneven pressure that creates gentle waviness along stems and curves. Letterforms are narrow and tall with compact counters, modest overshoots, and an intentionally inconsistent baseline and cap alignment that reads like marker or brush-pen lettering. Terminals are soft and slightly blunted, with occasional hooked endings and small idiosyncrasies from glyph to glyph. Overall rhythm is loose and organic rather than mechanically uniform, while remaining clear enough for continuous text.
Well-suited to short-to-medium passages where a personable handwritten voice is desired, such as posters, packaging callouts, book covers, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also work for headings, captions, or labels when you want a casual, crafted look without connected script letterforms.
The font conveys an informal, handmade tone—approachable and slightly mischievous, with a sketchbook authenticity. Its uneven edges and lively stroke behavior add personality, suggesting spontaneity and a human touch rather than polish.
Likely designed to emulate quick, neat hand lettering with a deliberate lack of geometric perfection, balancing legibility with distinctive, human irregularities. The narrow, upright build and restrained stroke weight suggest an intent to stay readable in display and text snippets while still feeling clearly handmade.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similar narrow, upright construction, giving mixed-case text a cohesive vertical texture. Numerals follow the same drawn logic, with simple shapes and slight wobble that keeps the set visually consistent. Spacing appears moderately open for a handwritten style, helping maintain legibility despite the irregular contours.
