A monoline, hand-drawn display face with tall, slender letterforms and a lightly wobbly baseline rhythm. Strokes are consistently thin and rounded at corners, with occasional uneven contours and small interior blobs or curls that read like ink pools or doodled counter-details. Bowls and counters are generally open and oval, terminals stay simple, and overall spacing feels loose and organic rather than mechanically regular.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its handmade texture can be appreciated—posters, book covers, packaging, labels, and invitations. It can work for larger headlines or playful pull quotes, but the very fine stroke and decorative interior irregularities may lose clarity at small sizes or in dense UI/body text.
The tone is casual and whimsical, like quick marker lettering in a notebook. The irregularities and little interior marks add a playful, slightly eerie storybook texture, keeping the voice informal and characterful rather than polished.
The design appears intended to capture a lightly distressed, doodled handwritten look—combining simple monoline construction with subtle imperfections and interior marks to create a themed, illustrative voice that feels personal and crafted.
Uppercase characters remain fairly simple and geometric, while several lowercase forms introduce more personality through loops and asymmetry. Numerals match the same thin, sketch-like construction, with rounded shapes that keep the set cohesive in longer text samples.
