A condensed, monolinear sans with rounded-rectangle construction and visibly hand-rendered edges. Strokes stay generally consistent but show subtle wobble, ink-like swelling, and slightly uneven terminals, creating a textured silhouette rather than crisp geometry. Counters tend to be narrow and vertically oriented, with compact bowls and simple, blunt joins that keep the overall rhythm tight and tall. Spacing appears slightly irregular in a natural way, reinforcing the drawn, organic feel while remaining readable in continuous text.
Best suited to short-to-medium headlines, packaging copy, and display text where its condensed footprint and handmade texture can add character. It can also work for book covers, event posters, and brand accents that aim for an artisanal or casual voice. For long passages, larger sizes and generous line spacing help preserve clarity.
The font reads friendly and informal, with a lively, slightly quirky tone that feels handmade and approachable. Its narrow, tall stance adds energy and urgency, while the softened corners keep the voice warm rather than severe. The overall impression is crafty and playful, suited to designs that benefit from personality over polish.
Likely designed to deliver a condensed display sans with a hand-inked texture—combining rounded, superelliptic skeletons with imperfect edges to avoid a sterile geometric look. The aim appears to be a legible, characterful type voice that feels crafted and human while maintaining a consistent, tall rhythm across letters and numbers.
Round forms like O and 0 are more pill-shaped than circular, and diagonal letters (K, V, W, X) retain the same blunt, brushy presence as the verticals. Numerals share the same tall, condensed proportions, with simple shapes and a lightly jittered baseline feel that matches the text color.
