A condensed, hand-drawn sans with softened corners and gently irregular stroke endings. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel, while verticals stay mostly straight and slightly wobbly. Stroke weight is fairly even with subtle modulation, and spacing shows a lively, uneven rhythm that reads intentional rather than sloppy. Many letters are tall and narrow with compact bowls, producing a tight, vertical texture in words and a distinctive silhouette in all caps.
Best suited for display sizes where its handmade texture and narrow rhythm can be appreciated—posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and social or editorial graphics. It can also work for short captions or pull quotes when a casual, personable feel is desired, but the condensed forms and organic irregularity favor shorter runs over dense body text.
The overall tone is friendly and offbeat, like marker lettering used for informal signage or DIY packaging. Its slight wobble and compressed proportions add personality and humor without becoming chaotic, lending a human, approachable voice to short messages.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, space-saving display voice with a deliberately human, drawn-by-hand character. By combining tall condensed proportions with rounded-rectangle curves and consistent stroke color, it balances legibility with a distinctive, quirky personality.
Capitals are especially slender and upright, while lowercase retains simple, single-storey constructions where expected, keeping the style accessible. Numerals follow the same narrow, hand-rendered logic and maintain consistent color, which helps the set feel cohesive across mixed-case text and numbers.
