A tall, slim hand-drawn print with a relaxed, unconnected rhythm and lightly irregular stroke flow. Strokes read as mostly monoline with subtle thick–thin modulation and rounded terminals, producing soft joins and gentle curves rather than sharp corners. Proportions are narrow and vertical, with generous ascenders/descenders and a small lowercase body that makes capitals feel notably prominent. The letterforms keep consistent construction while preserving natural, pen-like variance in curves, spacing, and endpoint finishing.
Well-suited to short, upbeat copy such as quotes, invitations, greeting cards, labels, and social graphics where an informal voice is desired. It can also work for playful packaging or classroom materials, especially when set with generous leading and moderate tracking for clarity.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a breezy, personable feel that suggests quick marker or pen lettering. Its narrow, upright stance and rounded ends keep it tidy enough for messaging, while the hand-made irregularities add charm and a slightly whimsical character.
Likely intended to capture the look of neat, everyday handwriting in a compact, vertical style that stays legible while still feeling personal. The design balances consistency with small hand-drawn imperfections to create warmth without becoming overly decorative.
Capitals are simple and open, with minimal ornament and a clear handwritten logic; the lowercase shows lively differentiation between straight stems and rounded bowls. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright pattern and remain readable at display sizes, though the casual spacing and small lowercase body can feel airy in long text.
