This typeface uses compact, condensed proportions with tall vertical strokes and gently rounded corners throughout. Strokes read mostly monolinear with subtle contrast and soft, slightly irregular terminals that mimic marker or brush-pen pressure without becoming calligraphic. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle logic—bowls and counters feel squarish-oval rather than purely circular—giving the forms a distinctive, simplified geometry. Spacing and widths vary modestly from glyph to glyph, creating a lively rhythm while maintaining consistent vertical alignment and clear letter skeletons.
It works best in display settings where a friendly, handmade voice is desirable—posters, packaging, cover titling, and brand accents. The condensed build can help fit longer phrases into tight horizontal space, making it useful for short headings, labels, and pull quotes.
The overall tone is approachable and informal, with a handcrafted, slightly offbeat character. Its narrow, upright stance keeps it organized and readable, while the gentle irregularities and rounded geometry add warmth and personality.
The design appears intended to blend clean sans structure with a casual, hand-rendered texture. By pairing rounded-rectangle curves with subtle stroke irregularity, it aims to feel both simple and personable—distinctive without becoming decorative.
Uppercase letters appear tall and compact with minimal ornamentation, and lowercase forms keep open counters and simple construction. Numerals follow the same narrow, hand-drawn logic, with rounded joins and a consistent stroke feel that matches the alphabet.
