A tall, condensed sans with softly rounded terminals and a consistent, pen-like stroke. Forms are narrow with generous vertical emphasis, producing an open, airy rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and slightly organic, with subtle irregularities that keep the alphabet from feeling mechanical. Counters are small but clear, and the overall texture stays even thanks to the steady line weight and restrained detailing.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand accents where a compact width helps fit more characters without losing a friendly tone. It also works well for social graphics, labels, menus, and short captions that benefit from a casual, handcrafted voice. For long-form reading, it’s most effective when given ample leading and generous margins.
The tone is lighthearted and approachable, combining a clean silhouette with a handmade, slightly whimsical feel. Its narrow proportions and gentle rounding read as friendly and informal rather than corporate or severe. Overall, it suggests casual personality—more sketchbook and boutique than technical or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean, condensed sans that feels human and approachable through rounded ends and gently imperfect geometry. It balances simplicity with personality, aiming for a recognizable voice without relying on heavy ornament or dramatic contrast.
Legibility holds up well at display and short-text sizes due to the simple constructions and clear apertures, though the condensed width and minimal stroke contrast can make dense paragraphs feel busy. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow logic, aligning visually with the letterforms for cohesive titling and labeling.
