A condensed, hand-drawn print style with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are tall and narrow, with slightly uneven stroke edges and subtle wobble that keeps the texture human and informal. Curves are simplified and open, counters are modest, and spacing varies a bit from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm rather than strict geometric regularity. Numerals follow the same narrow, lightly irregular construction and read clearly at display sizes.
Works best for short, attention-getting text such as posters, headlines, labels, and playful packaging. It’s well-suited to kid-friendly materials, casual branding, and social graphics where an informal, hand-lettered feel is desired, and is less ideal for dense body copy.
The overall tone is lighthearted and approachable, like quick marker lettering on a note or classroom poster. Its narrow, bouncy shapes feel energetic and a little quirky, prioritizing personality over polish.
Designed to emulate quick, neat hand printing in a condensed footprint, balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect, personable texture. The aim appears to be a friendly display face that brings handmade character to titles and callouts without relying on connected script forms.
Ascenders and capitals feel notably tall relative to the lowercase, while the lowercase stays compact, reinforcing a handwritten, sketchbook-like cadence. The set maintains consistent stroke thickness throughout, and the slightly idiosyncratic curves and joins help avoid a mechanical look.
