A narrow, hand-drawn print face with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms are upright with a slightly bouncy baseline and gentle irregularities that suggest marker or brush-pen construction. Counters are compact, curves are bulbous rather than geometric, and verticals often show subtle wobble and taper at joins. Spacing feels intentionally loose and variable, reinforcing an organic rhythm across words and lines.
Works well for short, expressive copy such as posters, packaging callouts, social posts, invitations, and quote graphics where a friendly handmade voice is desired. It can also support headings and subheads in playful branding systems, especially when paired with a calmer sans for body text.
The tone is light, approachable, and informal—more like neat handwriting than a formal display script. Its quirky proportions and lively rhythm give it a cheerful, conversational personality that reads as crafty and personable rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to emulate casual hand lettering with a confident, inked stroke and a compact, narrow footprint. It prioritizes personality and spontaneity over strict typographic regularity, aiming to feel human, approachable, and energetic in display settings.
Capitals have a simple, handwritten structure with minimal ornament, while lowercase shapes lean on tall ascenders and tight bowls that keep the texture dense. Several glyphs show distinctive hand gestures (notably in curves and diagonals), which adds charm but also makes the overall color slightly uneven in longer passages. Numerals match the same narrow, drawn style for a consistent voice in mixed text.
