A tall, condensed, hand-drawn sans with an irregular, marker-like stroke that shows noticeable contrast between thicker verticals and finer joins. Letterforms are upright but intentionally uneven, with slight wobble in stems, soft terminals, and gently rounded corners that keep the texture warm rather than mechanical. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm; counters are open and simplified, and curves (C, G, S, e) feel loose and slightly asymmetric. The overall color is dark but airy due to the narrow set and frequent thin strokes within each character.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its handmade texture can be appreciated: headlines, posters, cover titles, packaging, and friendly brand accents. It also works well for children’s or casual lifestyle communication, and for pull quotes or section headers where an informal voice is desired.
The font reads as playful and personable, with a sketchy, human cadence that suggests quick lettering and a lighthearted tone. Its quirky proportions and bouncy shapes add charm and approachability, making text feel conversational rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering in a condensed footprint, trading strict consistency for character and momentum. Its narrow, high-impact silhouettes and lively irregularities aim to deliver warmth and visibility in display typography without resorting to overt decorative elements.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and slim, while lowercase shapes lean toward simplified, handwritten constructions (single-storey a, open e). Diacritics are not shown; numerals are similarly narrow and informal, with curved, handwritten gestures in 2, 3, and 9 that match the alphabet’s casual movement.
