A compact, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and simplified construction. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness with gentle curvature at joins, producing a smooth, even texture in text. Proportions are tall and condensed overall, with small counters and modest x-height that keep lowercase compact while ascenders stand out clearly. Forms favor straightforward geometry—round bowls and narrow apertures—while a few glyphs introduce subtle quirkiness through asymmetry and slightly idiosyncratic curves.
It works best for short to medium display settings where its narrow footprint helps fit longer words into limited space—headlines, posters, packaging, and logo or label-style branding. It can also suit UI labels or social graphics when a friendly, compact sans is desired, especially at sizes large enough to keep the small interior spaces from closing up.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a lightly retro, hand-drawn flavor despite its controlled, consistent stroke. Rounded endings and narrow proportions give it a personable, upbeat voice suited to approachable messaging rather than formal editorial work.
This design appears intended to provide a condensed, space-saving sans that stays warm and accessible through rounded terminals and simplified shapes. The goal seems to balance clarity with a gentle personality for contemporary display and brand-oriented typography.
The rhythm in running text is tight and vertical, creating a distinctly compact silhouette. Numerals follow the same rounded, simplified approach, reading clearly at display sizes and maintaining the font’s soft, easygoing character.
