A condensed, right-slanted sans with rounded construction and soft, slightly irregular terminals that suggest a drawn or brush-pen influence. Strokes remain fairly even throughout, with gentle swelling and tapering at ends rather than sharp joins. Counters are compact and elliptical, ascenders are tall and narrow, and the overall rhythm is tight and vertical with consistent forward momentum. Figures follow the same condensed, slanted logic, with simple, open shapes that match the letterforms.
Works best in short to medium-length settings where a compact, energetic voice is helpful—headlines, poster copy, packaging callouts, and brand accents. It can also suit pull quotes or social graphics where narrow width and strong rhythm help fit more text into limited space without feeling rigid.
The font reads as upbeat and informal, with a light retro flavor and a personable, human touch. Its narrow, leaning stance adds energy and immediacy, making text feel conversational rather than corporate.
Likely designed to provide a space-saving, slanted sans that feels lively and approachable, blending clean condensed structure with subtly handmade, rounded finishing for warmth and motion.
The slant is consistent across upper- and lowercase, and many forms favor simplified geometry with rounded corners, supporting a smooth texture in lines of text. The tight proportions create a compact word silhouette, which can emphasize pace and density in headlines.
