A delicate, hand-drawn print with a tall, slender skeleton and mostly monoline strokes. Curves are gently uneven and slightly wobbly, giving the letters a natural pen-made rhythm rather than geometric precision. Uppercase forms are narrow and vertical with simple, open counters; lowercase mixes small bowls with long ascenders and descenders, and several letters show looped constructions (notably in j, y, g, and some numerals). Terminals tend to be tapered or softly flicked, and overall spacing feels loose and lively, with noticeable per-glyph width variation that reinforces the handwritten texture.
Use it for short, expressive text such as invitations, greeting cards, quote graphics, and boutique packaging where a gentle handwritten feel is desired. It also works well for chapter titles or pull quotes, while long body text may require larger sizing for comfortable readability due to the fine strokes.
The font reads as lighthearted and personable, with an airy charm that feels sketchbook-like and slightly storybook. Its thin strokes and long, looping extenders add a whimsical, delicate tone suited to informal, human communication.
The design appears intended to capture the look of neat, informal pen printing—light, tall, and slightly imperfect—balancing legibility with a charming hand-made character.
The sample text shows best results at display and headline sizes where the thin strokes and subtle irregularities stay clear. The numerals echo the same narrow, looped handwriting style, with rounded 0/8/9 forms and a simple, upright 1 and angled 7.
