A tall, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly bulging curves. Strokes stay mostly uniform with slight organic waviness, giving the outlines a subtly hand-drawn feel while remaining clean and readable. Counters are compact and oval, terminals are rounded rather than sharply cut, and the overall rhythm is tight with strong vertical emphasis. Uppercase and lowercase follow a simplified, narrow skeleton; figures match the same slender proportions for a cohesive, poster-like texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a compact, tall voice helps fit more characters into limited width while still feeling friendly. It also works well for signage, labels, and short editorial callouts where its quirky, handmade edge can add distinction without sacrificing clarity.
The font reads as playful and slightly eccentric—like a tidy hand-lettered sign translated into a consistent type system. Its narrow, tall stance adds a bit of drama, while the rounded forms keep the tone approachable and casual rather than severe. The overall impression is retro-leaning and characterful without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to blend a condensed, space-saving footprint with rounded superelliptical forms and a lightly humanized stroke to create an approachable display sans. It aims for recognizability and charm in short text, producing a distinct vertical rhythm that stands out in identity and promotional contexts.
At larger sizes the subtle irregularities and rounded geometry become a key part of the personality, creating a lively texture in lines of text. In dense settings, the tight widths and compact counters can make spacing and open forms feel more compressed, so it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing when used for longer passages.
