A compact, tall sans with a steady monoline stroke and consistently rounded terminals. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, giving lines a condensed, airy rhythm without feeling cramped. Counters are simple and open, while joins stay soft rather than sharp, keeping the texture smooth at text sizes. The lowercase is notably small relative to the capitals, and the overall drawing favors clean, uncomplicated shapes over geometric precision.
Well suited to packaging, posters, and short headlines where a narrow footprint helps fit more text while keeping a warm, informal voice. It also works nicely for children’s content, casual branding, labels, and social graphics, especially when you want a clean sans with a personable, hand-drawn edge.
The overall tone is light, approachable, and slightly whimsical, like neat hand lettering translated into a tidy digital form. Its narrow, upright stance reads energetic and conversational, adding personality without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering an easygoing, approachable sans that stays legible while adding gentle character through rounded terminals, condensed proportions, and a hand-lettered sensibility.
Several glyphs lean into simplified, humanist construction—especially in curves and diagonals—creating subtle irregularity that feels intentional and friendly. Numerals follow the same rounded, monoline logic, matching the letters for cohesive mixed text.
