A tall, slim handwritten print with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Letterforms keep a steady vertical stance and a consistent rhythm, while retaining small hand-drawn irregularities that prevent it from feeling mechanical. Counters are open and shapes are simplified, with gentle curves and occasional straight, pen-like joins; overall spacing feels airy and the texture remains light and even across words.
Well-suited for short to medium-length text where an informal, human touch is desired—captions, labels, stationery, social posts, and playful packaging. It can also work in posters and headers when a narrow, handwritten look helps fit more characters into limited horizontal space.
The font reads as informal and personable, with a mild quirkiness that adds charm without becoming overly decorative. Its narrow, elongated forms give it a breezy, upbeat tone—more like neat handwriting than a display gimmick.
Designed to mimic tidy, hand-printed lettering with a friendly tone, balancing legibility with just enough irregularity to feel authentically drawn. The elongated proportions suggest an intent to stay light and compact while still reading clearly in everyday applications.
Uppercase characters tend toward simple, columnar constructions, while lowercase forms introduce more personality through varied bowls and loop-like strokes (notably in letters such as g and y). Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, staying legible and consistent in stroke behavior. The overall impression is clean and uncluttered, with a slightly whimsical baseline feel.
