A tall, condensed hand-printed design with thin, monoline strokes and an intentionally irregular rhythm. Stems are long and straight with slight waviness, while bowls and curves are narrow and softly rounded, giving letters a stretched, vertical silhouette. Terminals are mostly blunt with occasional gentle hooks, and spacing feels lightly uneven in a way that reads as drawn rather than engineered. Numerals follow the same slender, upright construction, maintaining a consistent, delicate color in text.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where its tall, narrow presence can add character—posters, headings, packaging callouts, invitations, and editorial pull quotes. It can also work for children’s or craft-themed materials where a tidy, hand-drawn voice is desirable.
The overall tone is playful and lightly eccentric, like neat handwritten notes with a quirky personality. Its narrow, spindly forms feel airy and approachable, lending a whimsical, storybook-like character without becoming chaotic.
Likely designed to capture a clean but idiosyncratic hand-printed look: narrow, vertically stretched letters with subtle wobble and simple construction. The emphasis appears to be on personality and lightness rather than strict typographic regularity.
In the samples, the thin strokes and compressed proportions create a light texture that benefits from generous tracking and moderate-to-large sizes. The hand-made irregularities add charm but also make it less suited to dense, small-size settings where hairline strokes could lose clarity.
