A condensed, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes stay even throughout, with minimal contrast and gently irregular terminals that give a subtly hand-drawn texture. Counters are compact and vertical, and many round letters (O, C, G, e) read as tall superellipses rather than true circles. Proportions are tight and tall, with simplified joins and a slightly wobbly rhythm that remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, short blurbs, packaging, labels, and branding where a condensed footprint and distinctive, friendly texture are desirable. It can work for editorial callouts and poster typography, especially when you want a human touch while keeping a clean sans silhouette.
The overall tone is casual and approachable, mixing a clean condensed structure with a lightly imperfect, handmade feel. It evokes an informal retro signage or DIY label aesthetic—playful without becoming cartoonish.
The design appears intended to combine a space-saving condensed structure with rounded superelliptic forms and a hint of hand-made irregularity, producing a personable display sans that stays legible while adding character.
Capitals are narrow and columnar, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, print-like build with single-storey shapes in places and compact apertures. Numerals follow the same tall, rounded-rectangle logic, reading clearly in a set. The texture in text blocks is slightly lively due to small variations in curvature and terminal shaping, which can add character at display sizes.
