A tall, condensed hand-drawn print face with wiry strokes and slightly uneven contours that mimic marker or pen pressure. Stems are generally straight and upright, but edges wobble subtly, creating a textured, organic outline rather than clean geometry. Counters are small to moderate and often asymmetrical, with rounded joins and occasional tapered terminals. Spacing and widths vary by character, giving lines a lively rhythm while maintaining a consistent narrow overall footprint.
This font suits short to medium-length display settings where a handmade, personal tone is desired—posters, headers, packaging callouts, book covers, and casual editorial titling. It can work for brief text passages at comfortable sizes, where the narrow proportions help fit more characters while the hand-drawn texture remains visible.
The overall tone feels informal and approachable, with a quirky, handmade charm. Its thin, slightly jittery strokes add energy and a bit of mischief, reading as playful rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to capture the feel of quick, confident hand lettering in a condensed format—prioritizing personality and rhythm over strict uniformity. It aims to provide an informal, drawn-on look that stays readable while adding character to headings and accent text.
Capitals are tall and simple, with minimal ornament and a narrow stance that emphasizes verticality. Lowercase forms lean toward print-style handwriting, with distinctive, slightly idiosyncratic shapes (notably in bowls and diagonals) that keep the texture visible in continuous text. Numerals follow the same narrow, hand-drawn logic, with open forms that stay legible despite the irregular stroke edges.
