A tall, streamlined sans with monoline strokes and a soft, squared-round construction that keeps curves close to superellipse/rounded-rectangle shapes. Corners and terminals are consistently rounded, and many glyphs show gently flared or hooked joins that add character without breaking the overall geometric discipline. Counters are compact and vertical, with a relatively tight, columnar rhythm and slightly quirky detail in diagonals and junctions. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded architecture, with clear, simple forms and minimal contrast.
Works best where a compact, tall silhouette helps fit more characters per line while maintaining a clear, stylized voice—headlines, posters, packaging, signage, and brand marks. Its controlled geometry and soft corners also suit UI accents, labels, and short bursts of text where personality is desired without heavy ornament.
The overall tone feels retro-modern and lightly whimsical—clean and engineered at first glance, but with enough idiosyncratic curves and hooks to read as friendly and distinctive. It suggests mid‑century display lettering and early digital aesthetics, balancing novelty with legibility.
Likely designed to reinterpret geometric sans principles through rounded-rectangle anatomy and subtle, decorative hooks, creating a recognizable display voice while keeping stroke weight and structure consistent.
Distinctive features include rounded-rectangle bowls, softened corners throughout, and occasional asymmetric hooks on letters like J, K, R, and s that give the text a lively cadence. The texture stays even in paragraphs, but the narrow proportions and tight internal spaces make it feel more like a display face than a long-form text workhorse.
