A tall, condensed monoline with an extremely thin stroke and clean, continuous curves. The geometry leans elliptical and vertically stretched, with narrow counters and long ascenders/descenders that create a spare, high-leading rhythm. Terminals are mostly rounded or softly tapered, and joins stay simple, giving the set a lightly drawn, consistent hand-rendered feel. Overall spacing reads open and gentle, with modest character-to-character variation that keeps the texture lively without becoming messy.
Best suited to headlines, short phrases, and display settings where its narrow, airy build can add personality without taking much horizontal space. It works well for invitations, packaging, labels, and editorial pull quotes, especially when generous tracking and leading are available. Use with care for dense paragraphs or small UI text where the ultra-fine strokes can fade.
The tone is lighthearted and slightly eccentric, like neat sketchbook lettering. Its slender proportions and soft curves make it feel friendly and understated rather than bold or authoritative, with a hint of retro charm.
Likely designed to mimic a tidy, hand-drawn print style with a fashionable, condensed silhouette. The goal appears to be an expressive but restrained voice—light, charming, and space-efficient for display typography.
In longer text, the very thin strokes and tight widths make the line texture pale and elegant, but small sizes or low-contrast backgrounds may reduce clarity. The alphabet shows a consistent vertical emphasis and simplified construction, helping the set read as cohesive despite its informal, handwritten character.
