A tall, condensed hand-drawn print with slender strokes and occasional thick–thin variation. Letterforms are built from simple rounded curves and straight stems, with soft terminals and frequent looped or hooked details on descenders and ascenders. Proportions lean vertically, creating a narrow footprint and an airy texture, while slight irregularities in stroke and contour keep the line lively. The lowercase is notably small relative to the capitals, and punctuation-like dots (as in i/j) read as small, rounded marks.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its tall, quirky rhythm can be appreciated—such as children’s titles, playful posters, craft packaging, invitations, and informal branding. It can also work for pull quotes or headings when generous line spacing is available to accommodate long ascenders and descenders.
The overall tone is lighthearted and eccentric, with a gentle, doodled personality. Its elongated shapes and looping details suggest a casual, imaginative voice—friendly rather than formal, and more expressive than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to capture an informal, hand-lettered print look with a distinctly tall, condensed silhouette and charming, uneven details. It prioritizes character and a whimsical reading experience over strict geometric consistency.
Capitals are prominent and displayy, with several letters featuring exaggerated verticals and decorative curls that become more noticeable in longer text. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, mixing rounded bowls with thin stems for a cohesive, playful set.
