A narrow, monoline sans with rounded terminals and a lightly hand-drawn, elastic stroke character. Proportions skew tall and compact, with very short lowercase bodies contrasted by long ascenders and descenders (notably in f, j, y, and g), creating a pronounced vertical rhythm. Curves are soft and slightly irregular, counters are open, and many joins are simplified, giving the letters a casual, airy feel while keeping overall forms clean and legible.
Best suited to short display settings where its tall, narrow rhythm can add character—headlines, poster typography, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It also works well for playful editorial accents and kid-oriented or craft-themed materials, while longer passages may feel busy due to the compressed widths and pronounced extenders.
The tone is playful and offbeat, with a friendly, storybook-like charm. Its tall, springy letterforms and rounded ends feel informal and expressive without becoming chaotic, suggesting lightheartedness and personality rather than strict neutrality.
Likely designed to provide a personable, rounded sans voice with a hand-made sensibility, combining clean monoline construction with subtle irregularities for warmth. The narrow build and tall extenders appear intended to maximize character in tight horizontal space while maintaining a distinctive, whimsical texture.
Capital forms read as simple, rounded constructions with an emphasis on verticality, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes (single-storey a, compact bowls, and distinctive long-stemmed j and y). Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded logic, with straightforward silhouettes that keep the set cohesive in mixed text.
