A compact, hand-drawn print face with thick, monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are tall and condensed, with a steady vertical stance and slightly uneven widths that create an organic rhythm. Curves are simplified and open, counters are relatively small for the stroke weight, and joins show a subtle wobble that reads as marker-like rather than mechanically geometric. Lowercase forms are simple and legible, with single-storey constructions and clean, uncluttered silhouettes.
Best suited for short-to-medium text where personality is a feature—posters, product labels, cafe menus, kids-oriented materials, and casual branding. It can also work for UI accents or social graphics when a warm, handmade feel is desired, especially at larger sizes where the stroke weight and tight counters stay clear.
The overall tone feels approachable and informal, with a lighthearted, everyday personality. Its narrow, bouncy rhythm and gentle irregularities suggest handmade signage, classroom materials, or craft packaging—playful without becoming chaotic.
Designed to deliver a bold, handmade print look in a narrow footprint, balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect, marker-drawn charm. The condensed proportions help fit more characters per line while keeping the overall impression friendly and informal.
Capitals maintain a consistent tall proportion, while a few characters show intentionally idiosyncratic shaping (notably angular diagonals and slightly varied bowl sizes), reinforcing the drawn-by-hand character. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded logic and keep a clear, friendly presence in text.
