A tall, condensed handwritten print with a gently right-leaning stance and monoline stroke behavior. Shapes are softly rounded with slightly irregular terminals, giving each character a drawn, human rhythm rather than rigid geometry. Capitals are narrow and upright in proportion, while lowercase forms stay simple and open, with a modest x-height and long ascenders/descenders that add vertical bounce. Spacing feels airy and uneven in a natural way, and the figures follow the same slim, handwritten construction for consistent texture in text.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text where a friendly, handcrafted voice is desired—packaging callouts, café menus, posters, social graphics, invites, and editorial pull quotes. Its condensed footprint can help fit longer words into tight spaces, making it useful for labels and headings that need personality without heavy weight.
The overall tone is relaxed and personable, with a lightly whimsical energy that reads as approachable rather than formal. Its narrow, upright forms feel quick and conversational, like neat marker or pen lettering used for notes, labels, and casual announcements.
The design appears intended to mimic neat, hand-drawn print lettering with a consistent pen-like stroke, prioritizing warmth and informality over typographic precision. Its slim proportions and gentle slant suggest a practical display hand for casual communication and characterful titling.
Letterforms maintain a coherent style across cases, with occasional idiosyncrasies in curves and joins that reinforce authenticity. The narrow set and tall extenders create a distinctive vertical rhythm, so it tends to look best when given comfortable line spacing and a bit of breathing room.
