A condensed, right-leaning sans with monoline strokes and softly squared, superellipse-like curves. Terminals are mostly blunt with subtle rounding, and many joins show a slightly irregular, hand-rendered wobble that keeps the texture lively. Counters are compact and vertical, with tall, narrow capitals and similarly tight lowercase proportions; curves (like C/O/G) read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than perfect circles. The numerals follow the same narrow, upright skeleton with simple, legible shapes and minimal detailing.
Well-suited for display settings where a compact, energetic voice is useful—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, album or event graphics, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a tall, condensed profile. It can also work for short editorial accents (pull quotes, section headers) where a playful, human tone is desired, rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone feels informal and animated—like a neat marker or brush-pen note that’s been lightly stylized. Its condensed slant adds urgency and momentum, while the softened geometry keeps it friendly rather than strict. The slight unevenness gives it a human, personable character with a touch of vintage display flair.
The design appears intended to blend condensed, geometric sans structure with a hand-touched irregularity, creating a distinctive display face that stays readable while feeling casual and characterful. The slant and compact width suggest an emphasis on impact in limited horizontal space, with rounded-rectangle curves providing a cohesive, contemporary shape language.
Spacing appears on the tight side in running text, producing a dense rhythm that emphasizes verticality. Distinctive quirks—such as the tall, narrow O/Q forms and the lively diagonals in letters like K, V, W, and X—add personality without tipping into novelty.
