A tall, slim handwritten print with lively, uneven rhythm and noticeable stroke modulation. Stems are long and slightly elastic, with rounded terminals and occasional tapered entries that mimic pen pressure. Curves are open and a bit irregular, giving counters a soft, organic shape; bowls and loops tend to be narrow, and spacing feels naturally inconsistent as in quick hand lettering. Capitals are simple and spindly, while lowercase forms add more loopiness and bounce, producing an overall airy texture in text.
Best suited for short, expressive settings such as headlines, posters, greeting cards, labels, and casual branding where a handmade voice is desirable. It can also work for pull quotes or signage at larger sizes, where the delicate strokes and narrow shapes have room to breathe.
The font reads as informal and personable, with a lighthearted, sketchbook quality. Its narrow, springy forms and gentle quirks create a playful tone that feels approachable rather than polished or corporate.
Likely designed to capture the feel of quick, everyday handwriting in a clean, unconnected print style, balancing legibility with charming irregularity. The tall proportions and light touch suggest an aim for an airy, modern handwritten look that stays friendly and informal.
The alphabet shows intentional imperfections—slight waviness, variable stroke thickness, and subtle baseline drift—that reinforce the hand-drawn character. Numerals share the same slim proportions and rounded finishing, keeping the set visually cohesive.
