A tall, condensed handwritten print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are built from simple, slightly uneven curves and straight stems, giving a lightly drawn, pen-on-paper feel. Proportions are narrow with generous vertical emphasis, and counters stay open and clean for a breezy texture in text. The lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, a looped t, and generally smooth, continuous curves; numerals follow the same slender, lightly irregular rhythm.
Works well for short-to-medium display text where a casual, personable voice is desired—headlines, captions, quotes, invitations, greeting cards, and lifestyle or craft packaging. It can also support narrow-column layouts or space-conscious designs thanks to its condensed proportions.
The overall tone is lighthearted and approachable, with a subtle quirky charm that feels personal rather than mechanical. Its narrow, upright stance reads neat and organized, while the hand-drawn irregularities keep it informal and friendly.
The design appears intended to emulate neat, hand-printed lettering—slim, tidy, and softly imperfect—balancing clarity with an informal, drawn-by-hand personality.
Spacing appears even and comfortable for such condensed shapes, helping longer lines remain readable. The design stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with occasional playful swells and hook-like joins that reinforce the handwritten character.
