A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded joins. Forms are slightly irregular and lively, with subtle wobble in verticals and curves that keeps the texture from feeling mechanical. Counters tend to be small and tight, while terminals are mostly blunt with occasional tapered or flicked ends. Overall spacing feels compact, creating a dense, vertical rhythm that stays legible but clearly prioritizes character over strict uniformity.
Works best for short-to-medium display copy where its condensed, animated texture can be appreciated—posters, titles, product packaging, and approachable brand marks. It can also suit children’s or playful editorial accents, but the tight counters and lively irregularity make it less ideal for long, small-size reading.
The tone is playful and idiosyncratic, like neat hand lettering translated into a consistent type system. Its narrow, springy shapes and gentle unevenness add a casual, personable voice that reads as lighthearted rather than formal.
Likely designed to provide a friendly, hand-drawn alternative to neutral condensed sans faces, combining narrow proportions with an intentionally human, slightly imperfect rhythm for attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase letters are notably tall and slim, and the lowercase maintains a modest x-height with relatively prominent ascenders/descenders, enhancing the vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded construction and read as slightly whimsical in silhouette.
