A tall, lightly irregular handwritten print with mostly unconnected forms and a gently bouncing baseline feel. Strokes are predominantly monolinear with subtle thick–thin modulation and rounded terminals, giving letters a soft, pen-drawn finish rather than a mechanical one. Proportions skew narrow and vertical, with compact counters and a notably short x-height relative to the ascenders, which are long and prominent. Curves are smooth and open, and the overall spacing reads even but intentionally informal, preserving small variations that reinforce the hand-rendered character.
Works well for short-to-medium display text where a personable, hand-lettered feel is desired—such as headlines, posters, invitations, greeting cards, labels, and packaging. The tall, narrow proportions can help fit longer titles into tighter horizontal spaces while retaining a playful, informal voice.
The tone is friendly and whimsical, with a casual, human rhythm that feels conversational and lightly quirky. Its narrow, tall shapes add a slightly storybook flavor while staying clear and readable, making it feel approachable rather than formal or technical.
Designed to emulate neat, everyday hand printing with a controlled, legible structure and just enough irregularity to feel genuinely drawn. The emphasis on tall ascenders and compact lowercase proportions suggests a goal of maximizing character and readability in a slim footprint for display-oriented settings.
Capitals are simple and slender, mixing straight stems with rounded bowls and minimal ornamentation. Numerals follow the same hand-drawn logic, with open curves and soft joins that keep them consistent with the letterforms. Overall consistency is strong enough for text while still showing organic variation in stroke endings and curves.
