A tall, condensed hand-drawn print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are built from simple, slightly wobbly strokes with occasional looped joins and gentle curve tension, creating a lively rhythm. Counters are narrow and vertical, ascenders and descenders are long, and spacing stays fairly open despite the slim proportions, keeping words readable while retaining an informal, sketched character.
Well-suited to short-to-medium text in display settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a casual handwritten voice is desired. It also works nicely for social graphics and playful branding accents, especially when space is tight and a tall condensed texture helps fit more characters per line.
The font reads as lighthearted and personable, with a quirky, doodled energy that feels conversational rather than formal. Its narrow, upright stance adds a neat, tidy cadence, while the subtle irregularities keep the tone warm and human.
Designed to deliver an approachable handwritten print look with a compact, vertical footprint. The intention appears to balance clarity with an intentionally imperfect, hand-rendered charm for informal, friendly communication.
Uppercase forms are clean and simplified, while lowercase shows more idiosyncratic details (notably in letters with loops and hooks), enhancing the handmade feel. Numerals follow the same narrow, linear construction, matching the overall rhythm in mixed text.
