A tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly squared, rounded-rectangle curves. Forms are tall and compact, with minimal contrast and a slightly irregular, hand-drawn edge that shows gentle waviness in stems and bowls. Counters tend to be narrow and vertical, and many joins end in subtly blunted terminals rather than crisp cuts. The overall rhythm is compressed but lively, with small variations in width and curvature that keep repeated letters from feeling mechanical.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed footprint and handmade texture can work as a stylistic hook—posters, titles, packaging, labels, and short editorial headlines. It can also be effective for attention-grabbing UI banners or social graphics when used with generous tracking and line spacing.
The tone reads informal and characterful—like a quick marker or brush-pen rendition of a condensed display sans. Its narrow stance and rounded geometry give it a friendly, slightly offbeat personality that can feel vintage or DIY without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to blend a condensed, space-saving silhouette with a warm, human irregularity and rounded-rectangle construction, creating a distinctive display voice that feels approachable rather than strict.
At text sizes the narrow spacing and compact apertures make lines feel dense, while at larger sizes the uneven stroke edges and rounded corners become part of the charm. Numerals share the same tall, condensed proportions, helping mixed text and numbers stay visually consistent.
