A narrow, monoline handwritten print with tall proportions and softly rounded terminals. Strokes stay even in weight with minimal contrast, and the overall construction feels drawn rather than engineered, with slight irregularities that create a lively rhythm. Counters are open and simple, curves are gently squashed or elongated, and spacing is moderately loose so the condensed letterforms still read clearly in text. Numerals and capitals share the same slim, upright stance, maintaining a consistent, airy texture across lines.
Well suited for short to medium-length text where a friendly, informal voice is desired—such as packaging copy, café or retail signage, posters, classroom materials, and lightweight editorial callouts. Its condensed proportions also help in narrow columns, small labels, or UI spots where horizontal space is limited but a human touch is wanted.
The font conveys an approachable, lighthearted tone—like quick, neat marker lettering used for labels or notes. Its narrow, tall silhouettes and subtle wobble give it a personable, slightly quirky character without becoming messy.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, tidy handwriting in an upright print style, prioritizing warmth and clarity over strict geometric consistency. Its condensed build suggests it’s meant to stay legible while fitting comfortably into tighter layouts, delivering a casual tone in both headlines and supporting text.
Capitals are notably tall and slender, helping headings feel vertical and energetic. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, printed feel (unconnected), while a few shapes show mild asymmetry and idiosyncratic curves that emphasize the handmade quality. The overall color on the page is light and even, making it feel clean despite the informal drawing style.
