A tall, condensed monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and gently irregular, hand-drawn stroke behavior. Letterforms are simple and open, with narrow bowls and elongated verticals that give the alphabet a lean, vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly organic rather than geometric, and joins stay clean and uncluttered, helping counters remain clear even at small sizes. Numerals follow the same slim, rounded construction, with consistent stroke weight and a lightly informal feel.
Well-suited for short to medium-length text in friendly contexts such as packaging, posters, invitations, classroom materials, and social graphics. The narrow build can help fit longer words into tight spaces for headings and captions, and the soft terminals keep display lines feeling approachable. It can also work for lightweight UI labels or signage where a casual tone is desired.
The overall tone is friendly and casual, with a playful, approachable personality. Its narrow, airy silhouette feels light on the page and reads as modern handmade rather than strictly technical or corporate. The subtle irregularity adds warmth and a human touch without becoming messy.
Likely designed to provide a slim, space-saving sans that still feels warm and personable. The rounded terminals and hand-drawn irregularities suggest an intention to balance clarity with a crafted, informal character for everyday display typography.
The condensed proportions create a strong vertical texture in text, and the rounded endings keep it from feeling sharp or rigid. Spacing appears fairly even in running text, though the hand-drawn character suggests it’s best used where a bit of charm and informality is welcome.
