A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Curves are built from smooth, slightly squarish arcs, giving bowls and counters a gentle, humanized geometry. The overall rhythm is airy and vertical, with slim stems, compact widths, and simple, open letterforms that stay consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display use where its tall proportions can add character without heavy ornament—posters, packaging, menus, signage, and brand headlines. It can also work for short text blocks where a light, friendly tone is desired and horizontal space is limited.
The face reads as approachable and informal, with a lightly hand-rendered feel that keeps it warm rather than strictly technical. Its narrow, upright stance adds a subtle retro sign-painting tone while remaining clean and uncluttered.
The design appears intended to provide a simple, compact sans with a warm, human touch—combining clean construction with subtly softened shapes for an informal, contemporary-meets-retro voice.
Round letters like O and Q appear oval and vertically oriented, reinforcing the tall silhouette; the Q uses a small, unobtrusive tail. Numerals follow the same narrow, monoline logic, keeping a unified texture in text settings.
