A condensed, monoline sans with heavily rounded terminals and soft corners throughout. Strokes are consistent and dark, with a slightly irregular, hand-drawn steadiness that keeps edges from feeling mechanical. Proportions are tall and narrow, with compact counters and a tight overall footprint; curves (C, O, S) read smooth and vertical, while joins and spurs stay simplified. Lowercase forms are small relative to the ascenders and capitals, and the numerals follow the same narrow, rounded construction for a cohesive texture in text.
Well suited to short headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a friendly, characterful sans is needed in limited space. It also works for signage-style statements and punchy captions, especially where a tall, condensed silhouette helps maximize copy within narrow columns.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, slightly quirky rhythm that suggests handcrafted signage or informal display use. Its narrow build and soft endings give it a buoyant, friendly voice rather than a strict technical one.
The design appears intended to combine the efficiency of a tall, condensed sans with the charm of rounded, handmade-feeling forms. It prioritizes personality and compact display impact while keeping a simple, monoline structure for consistent rhythm across letters and numerals.
The letterforms maintain a consistent vertical emphasis and simplified geometry, producing an even, dark color across lines. Rounded terminals and compact apertures keep the texture cohesive, while small irregularities add personality without breaking legibility at display sizes.
