A tall, slender handwritten print with monoline strokes and a lightly wobbly, drawn-by-hand contour. The glyphs are narrow and vertically oriented, with open counters and simplified construction that favors single-stroke logic. Curves and joins show subtle irregularities and tapered terminals, creating a delicate, spidery texture in text. Spacing is fairly even but retains an organic rhythm, and the numeral set follows the same thin, linear feel with gently off-round bowls and straight, minimal stems.
Works well for short headlines, posters, and display copy where a personal, handcrafted feel is desired. It also suits packaging, greeting cards, invitations, and social media graphics that benefit from a light, playful voice. For longer paragraphs, it’s best used at comfortable sizes with generous line spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is lighthearted and informal, with a whimsical, diary-like charm. Its thin lines and tall proportions make it feel airy and slightly quirky, more conversational than polished. The hand-drawn steadiness reads friendly and approachable without becoming overly noisy.
The design appears intended to emulate neat, unconnected hand lettering with a consistent pen-like stroke. It prioritizes a charming, informal presence and a vertical, airy texture over typographic rigidity, aiming for friendly readability with visible human variation.
The alphabet shows consistent vertical emphasis and minimal contrast, helping long lines stay calm while still clearly looking hand-rendered. Uppercase forms are especially tall and simplified, while lowercase retains readable silhouettes with modest ascenders and descenders. The delicate stroke weight suggests it will be most comfortable at larger sizes or in low-density compositions where the fine lines can breathe.
