A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Curves are drawn with a slightly irregular, hand-rendered smoothness, giving bowls and arches a gentle wobble rather than geometric precision. Proportions skew narrow and vertical, with compact counters and a modest x-height that emphasizes ascenders and capitals. Spacing feels open for such a tight width, producing a light, breathable rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings where a compact width is useful and personality is welcome—headlines, posters, labels, and short slogans. It can also work for light, friendly UI or social graphics when set at sizes large enough to preserve its thin strokes and quirky shaping.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a whimsical, doodled quality that reads as human and characterful. Its narrow, upright posture keeps it tidy, while the soft curves and slight unevenness add warmth and humor. It suggests a crafty, playful voice rather than a strict corporate one.
Likely designed to provide a narrow, space-saving sans that still feels personable and handmade. The intent appears to balance legibility with charm by keeping strokes clean and upright while introducing subtle irregularity and rounded forms for an inviting, playful texture.
Distinctive details include simple, single-storey lowercase forms, rounded punctuation, and numerals that echo the same hand-drawn smoothness. The condensed build creates strong vertical texture, and the slightly varied curve tension gives words a lively, animated cadence without becoming chaotic.
