A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and soft, rounded terminals throughout. The letterforms lean toward simple geometric construction but retain a hand-drawn irregularity in curves and joins, creating a lively rhythm. Counters are generally narrow and upright, with generous vertical emphasis; round glyphs like O/Q read as elongated ovals. Spacing appears open for such a slim design, helping maintain clarity in longer words despite the tight proportions.
Well-suited to headlines and short display copy where a compact, vertical footprint is useful, such as posters, packaging, and social graphics. The friendly, handwritten tone also fits youth-oriented branding and informal signage, while remaining legible in moderate-length phrases at medium-to-large sizes.
The font feels approachable and informal, with a lightly whimsical personality that suggests marker or casual hand-lettering rather than strict engineering. Its narrow, vertical stance gives it a neat, organized presence while the subtle unevenness keeps it warm and human.
The design intention appears to be a slim, space-saving sans that keeps an inviting, hand-crafted character. It balances simple construction with gentle irregularities to avoid a sterile feel, aiming for readable display typography with a playful voice.
Distinctive shapes include a tall, loopless single-storey lowercase a, a compact single-storey g with a small ear, and a simple lowercase r with a short shoulder. Uppercase forms are straightforward and legible, with rounded corners softening the overall texture. Numerals follow the same narrow, monoline logic and stay consistent in height and stroke behavior.
