A compact, condensed sans with rounded terminals and softly irregular contours that suggest a hand-cut or stamped construction. Strokes stay broadly even, with subtle waviness and gentle bulges that keep counters open while adding texture. Curves are slightly flattened in places and verticals dominate, giving the alphabet a tall, narrow rhythm. Lowercase forms read as simple and sturdy, with single-storey shapes and plain punctuation-like detailing (e.g., dot accents) that matches the overall straightforward construction.
Best suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, packaging, and branding where a condensed footprint and bold texture help text stand out. It can also work for short subheads or captions when a handmade, retro tone is desired, but its character is most effective at medium to large sizes.
The face feels warm and approachable, with a lightly imperfect finish that reads as human and craft-oriented rather than clinical. Its narrow, tall proportions and dark presence create an energetic, poster-ready voice that can swing from playful to slightly gritty depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact sans with a deliberately handmade edge—combining simple, rounded construction with subtle irregularity for personality. It aims for quick recognition and strong color while keeping forms uncomplicated and readable.
The set maintains consistent stroke color and spacing in text, with a distinctive condensed cadence that emphasizes verticality. Numerals and capitals share the same compact stance, supporting strong, attention-grabbing lines while preserving legibility at larger sizes.
