A tall, slender handwritten print with monoline strokes and gently rounded terminals. Letterforms are simple and open, with slightly irregular proportions and spacing that create a lively rhythm. Curves are smooth and narrow, counters are generous for the width, and stems stay mostly straight with subtle human wobble. Capitals are notably elongated, while lowercase forms keep a compact x-height and rely on ascenders for overall height; numerals follow the same narrow, softly rounded construction.
Best suited to short to medium-length text where a friendly, informal voice is helpful—titles, packaging callouts, invitations, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also work for labels or UI accents when space is tight and a hand-drawn personality is desired, while extended body copy may benefit from generous leading for comfort.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, evoking casual note-taking, doodles, and informal signage. Its narrow, springy shapes feel approachable and a bit quirky rather than formal or technical.
Likely designed to provide a neat, hand-printed look that stays compact and legible while preserving the spontaneity of drawn lettering. The narrow build and tall capitals suggest an intention to fit more characters per line without losing its casual, playful character.
The design leans on verticality: many glyphs read as stretched and airy, which emphasizes a handwritten charm in headlines but can make long passages feel visually busy. Round shapes like O/Q and the bowls in B/P/R stay clean and open, while strokes remain consistently thin without noticeable emphasis or calligraphic modulation.
