A condensed, monoline sans with rounded terminals and gently irregular contours that suggest a hand-drawn construction. Curves are built from soft, elliptical bowls, while vertical stems stay straight and relatively narrow, creating a tall, compact rhythm. Counters are open and simple, with single-storey forms in the lowercase and straightforward, slightly idiosyncratic capitals. The overall spacing reads even, though individual glyphs show subtle width differences that add a lively texture in words and lines.
Works well for posters, short headlines, packaging, and social graphics where a friendly, handmade sans can carry personality. It can also suit casual UI labels or small blocks of display text when you want a compact footprint without a stark, utilitarian feel.
The face feels approachable and informal, with a playful, slightly quirky tone that reads more human than mechanical. Its narrow, tall stance adds energy and momentum, making text feel chatty and light rather than corporate or strict.
The design appears intended as an easygoing display sans that combines condensed proportions with rounded, hand-touched shapes for an approachable, characterful look. It prioritizes charm and readability in short-to-medium settings over strict geometric precision.
In the sample text, the narrow proportions help long lines stay compact, while the rounded joins and terminals keep dense settings from feeling harsh. Numerals and punctuation follow the same simple, monoline logic, supporting a consistent voice across mixed-content copy.
