A slender, monoline handwritten print with tall proportions and a condensed footprint. Strokes stay even and delicate, with softly rounded ends and occasional gentle curves that feel drawn in one pass. Uppercase forms are narrow and elongated, while lowercase has small bowls and a compact x-height, creating a high ascender/descender emphasis. Spacing is slightly irregular in a natural way, and widths vary by character, producing a lively rhythm rather than a rigid text texture.
Best suited for short display copy where its tall, handwritten personality can be appreciated—headlines, invitations, greeting cards, quotes, packaging, and craft or boutique branding. It can also work for captions or callouts when a friendly, informal tone is desired, but the delicate strokes and narrow forms favor larger sizes and generous line spacing.
The overall tone is lighthearted and personable, like neat hand lettering on a note or label. Its tall, skinny shapes and subtle quirks add a whimsical, slightly offbeat charm without becoming messy or aggressive.
Designed to mimic tidy, hand-drawn print with an intentionally tall, condensed structure, balancing legibility with a charming, human irregularity. The consistent monoline construction and restrained detailing suggest a focus on approachable display typography rather than formal text setting.
The font’s vertical emphasis is especially noticeable in letters like J, P, R, and y, which extend prominently and help create a distinctive silhouette in words. Numerals match the same narrow, drawn style, keeping the set visually consistent for casual display use.
