A tall, condensed monoline sans with rounded terminals and gently softened corners. Strokes remain consistent throughout, with simple geometric construction and open, uncomplicated counters that keep forms legible despite the narrow proportions. Curves are smooth and slightly ovalized, and verticals dominate the rhythm, giving the typeface a clean, columnar texture. Lowercase forms are straightforward and uncluttered, with single-storey a and g and a relatively compact, tidy set of figures.
Best suited to display-sized settings where its slim proportions and soft roundness can add personality without visual noise. It works well for headlines, short paragraphs in spacious layouts, packaging and labels, and lightweight branding applications that want a friendly, minimal look.
The overall tone is light, approachable, and understated, with a hand-drawn softness that reads as casual rather than formal. Its narrow, airy presence feels modern and tidy, lending a calm, friendly character to short messages and display lines.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, narrow sans with a softer, more personable finish than a strictly technical condensed face. Its consistent monoline strokes and simple forms suggest a focus on clarity, economy of space, and an easygoing contemporary feel.
Round letters like O, Q, and e appear slightly condensed and vertically oriented, reinforcing the slim silhouette. The numerals follow the same pared-back logic, with simple shapes and minimal detailing that match the alphabet’s gentle, unassuming voice.
