A tall, condensed, monoline hand-drawn print style with rounded terminals and gently irregular contours. Stems stay mostly straight and vertical, while curves are narrow and slightly bouncy, creating a lively rhythm across words. Counters are compact and the overall set keeps a consistent stroke presence, with small, natural variations that reinforce the handmade feel. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow proportions, keeping lines of text airy while maintaining clear letter shapes.
Best suited for short-to-medium text where personality matters: headlines, posters, product packaging, labels, and casual branding. It can also work for invitations, social graphics, and playful editorial callouts where a narrow footprint helps fit more characters without feeling heavy.
The font reads as upbeat and approachable, with a quirky, human warmth that feels informal rather than formal or technical. Its narrow, upright stance adds a light, nimble energy, making the tone feel conversational and slightly whimsical.
Designed to mimic neat, hand-printed lettering in a condensed form, balancing legibility with an intentionally imperfect, human touch. The goal appears to be a friendly display face that brings informal charm to modern layouts without resorting to connecting script.
The narrow proportions and tight counters give it a distinctive vertical emphasis, which can add character in headlines but may require comfortable tracking in longer passages. The drawn-inconsistency is controlled enough to stay legible while still signaling an intentionally handmade personality.
