A tall, slender handwritten print style with monoline strokes and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms are simplified and clean, with a slightly wobbly hand-drawn rhythm that stays consistent across the set. Curves are narrow and vertical, counters are compact, and spacing feels open, giving the design an airy texture in text. Ascenders and capitals are notably elongated, and punctuation and numerals follow the same thin, drawn-with-pen character.
Well-suited to short-to-medium copy where a personable, handmade voice is desired—such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, greeting cards, and casual branding. It can also work for quotes and captions when set with comfortable spacing and adequate size.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a whimsical, lightly quirky personality. Its narrow, spindly proportions and subtle irregularities convey a human, sketchbook feel rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to mimic neat, quick hand lettering: simple, tall forms that read clearly while keeping an intentionally imperfect, drawn-by-hand charm.
In sample text, the font maintains a steady baseline and legibility while retaining hand-drawn unevenness. The narrow widths create dense vertical texture, so generous tracking and moderate sizes help preserve clarity, especially in longer lines.
