A tall, condensed handwritten print with a monoline stroke and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms are simplified and slightly irregular, with subtle wobble in verticals and uneven curve tension that preserves a natural, drawn rhythm. Counters are narrow and open, spacing is on the airy side, and proportions vary from glyph to glyph in a controlled, informal way. The overall silhouette is slender and vertical, keeping words compact while maintaining clear shapes.
Well-suited to short headlines, posters, product packaging, and editorial callouts where a friendly handmade voice is desired. It also fits children’s materials, invitations, and greeting-card style messaging, especially when set with generous leading to let the tall, narrow forms breathe.
The font reads as approachable and lighthearted, with a sketchbook sincerity that feels human rather than engineered. Its narrow, bouncy rhythm gives text a cheerful, conversational tone—more playful than formal, and more personal than corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver an easygoing handwritten print feel that stays readable while retaining the imperfections of hand lettering. Its condensed proportions suggest an aim to pack character into limited horizontal space without losing the casual, personable tone.
Uppercase forms are clean and pared back, while lowercase introduces more personality through tall ascenders and simple, slightly quirky bowls and tails. Numerals follow the same narrow, drawn logic and remain legible at display sizes, reinforcing an informal, hand-lettered consistency across the set.
