A tall, slim sans with a consistent, monoline stroke and softly rounded terminals throughout. Forms are simplified and open, with modest curves and generous interior counters that keep letters readable despite the narrow proportions. The rhythm is even and vertical, with straight-sided stems and gentle joins; bowls and ovals lean toward narrow, upright ellipses. Uppercase shapes stay restrained and geometric-leaning, while the lowercase introduces slightly more handwritten irregularity in curves and descenders.
Works best for short-to-medium text where a condensed, airy texture is desirable—such as posters, packaging, labels, social graphics, and brand accents. It can also serve for captions or UI microcopy when you want a friendly voice, provided spacing and size are chosen to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels lighthearted and personable, like a neat hand-lettered marker style refined into a simple text face. Its narrow stance and rounded endings give it a friendly, low-pressure character that reads modern and informal rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, approachable sans with a hand-drawn warmth, balancing simplicity with softened geometry. Its condensed proportions suggest a focus on fitting more characters into tight spaces while retaining a gentle, contemporary personality.
Round characters such as O/0 and C/G are drawn as tight vertical ovals, reinforcing a compact texture. Descenders on letters like g, j, p, q, and y are long and smooth, adding a lively vertical cadence in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow logic, maintaining consistency with the letters.
