A condensed, hand-drawn print style with tall proportions and lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show a brush-pen feel with soft tapers and slight swelling, producing moderate stroke variation without sharp, calligraphic angles. Terminals are rounded and occasionally blunted, and curves lean toward narrow ovals, giving letters a vertical, slightly elastic presence. Uppercase forms are simple and narrow with occasional quirky hooks and asymmetries, while lowercase includes tall ascenders and compact bowls that keep counters tight. Numerals match the same narrow, drawn texture, with rounded forms and subtly irregular stroke endings that preserve the handmade character in text.
Well-suited for display applications where a friendly, handmade voice is desired—posters, packaging, labels, book covers, greeting cards, and event or café-style signage. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers, especially when the design benefits from narrow, vertically oriented letterforms.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, evoking handmade signage and informal notes rather than polished typography. Its tall, narrow silhouettes and bouncy details read as quirky and energetic, lending a storybook or craft-market warmth. The slight irregularities feel intentional, adding charm and approachability to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident brush-pen printing with a deliberately condensed footprint and playful irregularity. It prioritizes personality and visual texture over strict geometric consistency, creating an informal display face that feels crafted and human.
Spacing appears intentionally varied to maintain a natural handwritten flow, with some letters feeling slimmer or roomier than neighbors. The font maintains consistent texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, keeping the brushy stroke behavior cohesive even at larger sizes.
