A tall, condensed sans with monolinear strokes and consistently rounded terminals. Curves are soft and slightly organic, with narrow bowls and compact counters that keep the overall texture light and airy. Proportions lean vertically, with long ascenders and a generally slim footprint across both capitals and lowercase. The numerals follow the same narrow, rounded construction, maintaining an even rhythm in running text.
Best suited for short to medium-length settings where a light, friendly character is desirable—such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand accents. It can work in longer text at comfortable sizes and leading, particularly in editorial sidebars, captions, or playful product copy where an informal tone is appropriate.
The font conveys an easygoing, approachable tone with a subtle hand-drawn feel. Its slim, rounded shapes read as gentle and playful rather than technical or formal, making the voice feel friendly and informal.
The design appears intended to offer a simple, rounded sans that feels personable and contemporary while staying clean enough for practical typesetting. Its condensed vertical proportions suggest a focus on fitting more characters into limited horizontal space without losing a soft, welcoming impression.
Spacing appears generous for such narrow letterforms, helping legibility in text despite the compact counters. Several shapes show slight humanized irregularities in curvature and joins, reinforcing a crafted, non-mechanical personality.
