A tall, condensed sans with consistently thin strokes and softly rounded terminals. Curves are narrow and oval, with slightly uneven, hand-drawn-like tension that keeps forms from feeling purely geometric. Counters are compact and vertical, and spacing is relatively open for such a narrow design, giving lines a light, airy rhythm. Numerals follow the same slender, rounded construction, maintaining a cohesive texture across mixed text.
Works well for headlines, short paragraphs, and punchy copy where a compact footprint is helpful. Its friendly, narrow forms suit packaging, café/retail branding, posters, and social media graphics, especially when you want an informal, handcrafted feel without resorting to script.
The font reads warm and approachable, with a gently quirky personality that suggests informal communication rather than strict neutrality. Its narrow, upright stance and soft rounding create a tidy but playful tone—more personable than corporate, and more modern-casual than vintage script.
The design appears intended to offer a clean, condensed sans with a subtle handmade character—balancing legibility with a personable, slightly whimsical voice for contemporary display use.
In text, the condensed proportions create a strong vertical cadence, while the slight irregularity in curves adds charm without tipping into messy or distressed. The overall color on the page stays light, making it feel unobtrusive yet distinctive at display and subhead sizes.
