A condensed, rounded sans with softly squared curves and a monoline stroke. Forms are built from pill-like verticals and rounded-rectangle bowls, giving counters a compact, superelliptical feel. Terminals are blunt and smooth rather than sharply cut, and joins stay simple and sturdy with minimal modulation. Spacing is tight and the overall rhythm is tall and narrow, creating a compact, vertical texture in words and lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a compact, characterful voice is needed. It can work for short bursts of text—captions, labels, and UI callouts—when space is tight and a friendly tone is desired, but it will be most effective at display sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and slightly offbeat, with a hand-drawn friendliness translated into clean geometric shapes. Its narrow, rounded forms feel retro and whimsical without becoming overly decorative, lending an approachable personality to short messages.
The design appears intended to merge a rounded geometric construction with a lively, slightly eccentric rhythm, offering a condensed display sans that stays legible while adding personality. Its softened corners and compact proportions suggest a focus on warmth and impact in space-constrained layouts.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent rounded-rectangle construction, and the numerals follow the same tall, compressed proportions for a cohesive set. The dot of the i/j is a small rounded mark, and punctuation keeps the same softened geometry, helping the font retain its character in running text.
