A tall, condensed handwritten print with gently irregular geometry and a lively, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes read mostly even with subtle thick–thin modulation, and terminals are rounded or softly tapered rather than sharply cut. Counters are narrow and vertical, with simple, open forms and occasional idiosyncratic curves in letters like J, S, and y. Spacing and widths vary by character, reinforcing an organic, drawn feel while keeping an overall consistent vertical posture.
Best suited for short to medium-length settings where personality is desired: headlines, posters, packaging, book covers, and pull quotes. It can work well for branding accents and label-style typography, especially where a handmade, condensed look helps fit more characters into tight spaces without feeling rigid.
The overall tone feels friendly and quirky, like informal lettering used in captions or whimsical titles. Its narrow, upright build and slightly uneven curves give it a human, crafted personality that leans toward storybook and retro display sensibilities rather than formal text typography.
The design appears intended to mimic neat, hand-printed lettering with a condensed footprint, balancing legibility with a distinctive, quirky voice. Its controlled irregularities and softened terminals suggest a goal of approachable charm over typographic neutrality.
The uppercase set reads especially tall and slender, while the lowercase maintains a modest x-height with clear ascenders and descenders, creating a pronounced vertical rhythm. Numerals are similarly narrow and straightforward, aligning well with the font’s airy, handwritten character.
