A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and gently rounded terminals. Curves are slightly irregular and lively rather than perfectly geometric, giving the letterforms a hand-shaped feel while maintaining consistent stroke weight. Counters are compact and vertical rhythm is strong, with narrow widths and a clean, uncluttered silhouette across both cases and numerals.
Best suited to short to medium-length display settings where a friendly, condensed voice is helpful—such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand accents. It can also work for playful UI labels or captions when space is tight and a warm, informal tone is desired.
The overall tone is playful and personable, with a quirky, cartoon-adjacent charm that feels casual rather than formal. Its narrow, upright stance keeps it readable, while the subtle irregularities add warmth and a lighthearted, retro flavor.
Likely designed to provide a space-efficient, narrow sans with a handcrafted personality—combining clean monoline construction with subtle irregularity to feel approachable and distinctive in display use.
The font favors simple construction and smooth curves, producing a clean texture in text while still showing character in distinctive rounded joins and slightly varied curve tension. Numerals and lowercase share the same compact, vertical proportions, helping mixed content look cohesive.
