A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softened corners that keep the overall texture friendly rather than rigid. Forms are narrow and vertical, with gently irregular curves and slightly uneven rhythm that reads as intentionally hand-drawn. Counters tend to be compact, terminals are mostly rounded or lightly flattened, and several letters show subtle asymmetry that adds character without sacrificing legibility at display sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow proportions, with simple, closed shapes and a consistent stroke weight.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and short copy where a compact footprint is helpful and personality is desired. It can work effectively for packaging, labels, event materials, and branding accents, especially when set with generous tracking or paired with a calmer text companion.
The tone is upbeat and informal, with a whimsical, offbeat energy reminiscent of mid-century sign lettering and cartoon titling. Its narrow stance and springy shapes make it feel lively and approachable, more expressive than neutral.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, high-impact sans that feels human and playful, combining narrow proportions with a hand-drawn looseness to create a distinctive display voice.
In text settings the condensed width creates a strong vertical cadence and efficient line length, while the slightly irregular construction introduces a handcrafted texture. The overall silhouette stays clean and sans-like, but the idiosyncratic curves and condensed geometry make it stand out as a characterful display face.
