A tall, tightly set sans with monoline strokes and softly squared curves, giving many rounds a rounded-rectangle feel. Terminals are blunt and slightly irregular, with subtle wobble in stroke edges that reads as hand-drawn rather than mechanically perfect. Counters stay open despite the narrow proportions, and the overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with small variations in character widths that keep text from feeling rigid.
Best suited to display use where its condensed footprint and quirky texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, labels, menus, and brand marks that want an informal voice. It can work for short UI or editorial callouts, but the narrow proportions and intentional irregularity are more effective in larger sizes and shorter strings.
The tone is friendly and informal, with a lightly offbeat, handcrafted energy. Its narrow, upright stance feels energetic and a bit nostalgic, like signage or DIY lettering, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-lettered, sign-painter-like sans look in a compact, vertical format. It balances legibility with personality by keeping strokes simple and counters open while introducing gentle irregularities and rounded-rectangle curves for character.
Uppercase forms are compact and straight-sided, while lowercase shows more idiosyncratic shapes (notably in curved letters and the dotting), reinforcing the handmade character. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic and maintain clear silhouettes at display sizes.
