A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Curves are drawn with a gentle, slightly irregular hand, giving counters an oval feel and keeping the texture light and open. Proportions are narrow throughout, with long ascenders/descenders and simple, uncluttered construction; joins and curves favor smooth, continuous motion over sharp corners. The numerals follow the same narrow, rounded logic and sit comfortably with the lowercase rhythm.
Best suited for short-to-medium text in display contexts where a tall, compact footprint is useful—posters, headlines, packaging, and brand accents. It can also work for captions or UI labels when you want a friendly, informal voice, though the condensed rhythm suggests keeping long paragraphs to comfortable sizes and spacing.
The overall tone is light and personable, with a subtle handmade quirk that reads as approachable rather than mechanical. Its narrow, vertical stance adds a tidy, modern flavor, while the softly imperfect curves keep it casual and human.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, condensed sans with a human touch—prioritizing simplicity, vertical economy, and an approachable personality. It aims for an easygoing display presence that stays legible while adding a modest amount of character.
The alphabet shows consistent narrow widths and a steady baseline rhythm, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (for example, the capital I and lowercase l are kept simple and slender). Rounded forms like C, O, Q, and e maintain an even stroke and open apertures, helping preserve clarity despite the condensed proportions.
