A tall, slender sans with a consistent, hairline stroke and softly rounded terminals. Curves are narrow and vertical stress dominates, giving letters an elongated, column-like rhythm with generous white space inside counters. The uppercase shows simple geometric construction (notably in A, M, N, V, W) paired with rounded bowls and smooth joins, while the lowercase stays compact with a relatively low x-height and long ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same thin, rounded treatment, with open, simplified forms and a light, even texture in running text.
Best suited to short display settings where its tall, skinny silhouette can be a feature—headlines, posters, cover titles, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for invitations, menus, and playful editorial pull quotes, especially at moderate-to-large sizes where the thin strokes and narrow counters remain clear.
The overall tone feels lighthearted and approachable, with a gentle, doodled informality despite its clean structure. Its narrow, tall proportions create a quirky elegance that reads as modern and slightly whimsical rather than strict or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a friendly, modern display sans that feels hand-touched without becoming messy. Its narrow proportions and rounded, monoline construction aim to create a distinctive vertical elegance and a light, approachable voice for contemporary branding and titling.
The narrow set width and long vertical strokes create a distinctive, high-contrast-in-space look (more white space than ink), making spacing and line breaks a noticeable part of the visual character. Rounded ends keep the thin strokes from feeling brittle, and the design maintains a consistent, calm rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
