This typeface presents as a hand-drawn print with tall, slender proportions and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm. Strokes look like they come from a felt-tip or brush pen, with subtly tapered joins and soft, rounded terminals rather than hard cuts. Letterforms lean on simple, open constructions and generous counters, while ascenders are notably long, giving the text a vertical, airy texture. Curves are smooth but not geometric, and the baseline and stroke consistency feel intentionally human, keeping the overall color light and animated.
It works best for short to medium-length text where an informal, human tone is desired—such as packaging, café menus, craft branding, greeting cards, and playful headlines. The narrow, tall footprint makes it useful when you need a lot of characters in a limited width while still keeping a hand-lettered presence.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, reading like neat handwriting used for labels or notes. Its bouncy verticality and rounded endings give it a gentle, approachable character with a hint of whimsy. The irregularities are controlled enough to stay readable while still signaling an informal, handmade voice.
The design appears intended to mimic tidy, upbeat hand-printing—more polished than spontaneous scribbles, but still clearly drawn rather than engineered. Its consistent narrowness and long ascenders suggest a goal of creating a distinctive, space-efficient handwritten voice that remains legible in display and supportive text settings.
Capitals are simple and narrow with a hand-lettered feel, while lowercase forms maintain a consistent, loopy motion (notably in rounded letters and the single-storey constructions). Numerals follow the same drawn logic, staying tall and clean with minimal ornamentation, which helps them sit comfortably alongside text.
