A condensed sans with tall proportions, slender strokes, and softly rounded terminals. Curves are slightly squashed and elliptical, giving bowls and counters a narrow, vertical feel, while straight stems stay clean and steady. Corners are gently eased rather than sharp, and many joins have a subtle hand-made irregularity that keeps the rhythm lively. Uppercase and lowercase share the same narrow, upright stance, with open apertures and clear interior space despite the tight width.
Best suited to short headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a compact width is useful and personality is welcome. It can also work for signage and labels that need a tall, space-saving voice, while remaining legible at moderate sizes.
The overall tone feels light, informal, and a bit nostalgic—like signage or display lettering with a friendly, offbeat personality. Its narrowness and soft shaping read as approachable rather than technical, making it feel playful without becoming chaotic.
The font appears designed to deliver a space-efficient, condensed sans that feels human and expressive rather than strictly geometric. It balances simple construction with subtle irregularities to create a distinctive display texture in both all-caps and mixed-case text.
The design shows small, intentional quirks in stroke endings and curve transitions, which adds character in text settings. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded construction and look consistent with the letterforms, supporting mixed alphanumeric use.
