A slim, hand-drawn print face with a monoline stroke and tall, airy proportions. Stems are long and slightly elastic, with rounded terminals and gentle, uneven curves that preserve a natural pen-drawn rhythm. Counters are narrow and open, and spacing feels loose and informal, creating a light, vertical texture. Uppercase forms are simple and narrow, while lowercase introduces more loops and soft descenders, giving the line a subtly bouncy cadence.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where a personable, handcrafted voice is desired—such as headlines, packaging callouts, tags and labels, invitations, greeting cards, and social graphics. It can also work for brief captions or UI accents when an informal, human touch is needed, but the slim build favors larger sizes for comfortable reading.
The overall tone is approachable and whimsical, like neat personal handwriting used for labeling or casual notes. Its narrow, tall shapes and relaxed curves suggest a lighthearted, youthful mood without becoming overly messy.
The font appears designed to mimic tidy, hand-lettered printing with an intentionally narrow, tall silhouette and a gentle, playful rhythm. It aims to deliver a personal, informal tone while staying legible and consistent enough for repeated use in branding and display settings.
The design keeps a consistent single-stroke feel while allowing small irregularities in curvature and alignment that reinforce the handmade character. Numerals follow the same tall, minimal style and read cleanly at display sizes, with a friendly, rounded presence.
