A tall, condensed hand-drawn print face with slender strokes and gently irregular contours. Letterforms keep a consistent upright stance but show natural variation in width and curve tension, creating a lively rhythm. Terminals are mostly rounded or softly tapered, counters are open, and bowls tend toward narrow ovals; ascenders and capitals feel notably elongated relative to the short lowercase body. The numerals match the same narrow, lightly drawn construction with simple, readable shapes.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its tall, condensed personality can lead the composition—headlines, posters, packaging, book covers, and playful branding. It can work for brief captions or pull quotes when ample line spacing is available, but its distinctive vertical rhythm is most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, like neat handwriting intended for display. Its narrow, elongated silhouettes add a slightly theatrical, storybook flavor while the small imperfections keep it friendly and informal rather than formal or mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver an informal, hand-rendered look with a narrow footprint, balancing legibility with a deliberately quirky, human texture. It emphasizes verticality and charm over strict uniformity, aiming for expressive, friendly display typography.
Spacing appears generous for such narrow forms, which helps prevent the tall shapes from clumping in text. In longer lines the vertical emphasis becomes a defining trait, making the face feel airy and animated, especially in mixed-case settings.
