A casual handwritten print with monoline-like strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are tall and condensed overall, with lively baseline movement and subtle, pen-drawn irregularities in curves and joins. Proportions vary slightly from glyph to glyph, giving an organic rhythm, while counters stay fairly open for legibility. Uppercase shapes are simple and narrow with occasional playful quirks, and the lowercase keeps compact bowls and a modest x-height that reinforces the tall, airy texture in text.
Works well for short-to-medium copy where a friendly handwritten voice is desired, such as posters, social graphics, packaging callouts, menus, and quote-style headlines. Its condensed build also suits tight horizontal spaces, making it useful for labels, side notes, and compact display lines.
The font reads as relaxed and personable, with a lighthearted, sketchbook energy. Its narrow, upright stance feels neat rather than messy, balancing informality with readability. The overall tone suggests approachable messaging—warm, human, and slightly whimsical without becoming overly decorative.
Designed to emulate quick, confident hand lettering with a clean, uncluttered structure. The goal appears to be an informal print style that feels personal and approachable while remaining legible and consistent enough for repeated use in display typography.
The figures and punctuation-like shapes visible in the samples follow the same hand-drawn logic, with smooth curves and occasional asymmetry that adds charm. Spacing appears naturally uneven in a way typical of marker/pen lettering, which can enhance authenticity in larger sizes.
