A tall, slender handwritten print with monoline strokes and a lightly wavering, pen-drawn contour. The letters are built from simple, elongated shapes with rounded terminals and gentle curvature, producing an overall condensed rhythm with occasional width variation from glyph to glyph. Counters are narrow and vertical, ascenders and caps feel especially extended, and curves (C, O, S) stay open and smooth rather than geometric. Spacing appears moderately loose for such narrow forms, helping the thin strokes stay legible in longer lines.
This style works best for short to medium-length text where a personal, hand-rendered feel is desired—such as notes, captions, packaging labels, invitations, and poster headlines. The very thin stroke and narrow build favor larger sizes or high-contrast backgrounds, where its delicate line quality can remain clear.
The overall tone is light, quiet, and approachable—more doodled than formal. Its lanky proportions and subtle irregularities give it a whimsical, human presence that feels playful without becoming messy.
The design appears intended to capture a simple, hand-printed marker/pen look with an emphasis on tall, condensed proportions and a gentle, imperfect rhythm. It prioritizes personality and lightness over typographic rigidity, creating an informal display voice that still reads cleanly.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent narrow stance, with some glyphs showing distinctive handwritten quirks (e.g., uneven bowls and slightly offset joins). Numerals follow the same tall, airy construction, matching the alphabet well for casual settings.
