A slender, monoline display face with tall proportions and generous vertical rhythm. Forms are largely geometric with rounded corners, simple circular bowls, and a consistent thin stroke, punctuated by occasional teardrop terminals and softly tapered joins. Several characters collapse their counters into solid, pill-like or blob shapes, creating a distinctive alternation between hairline outlines and filled elements. The overall construction stays clean and upright, with simplified details and a slightly irregular, hand-tuned feel that keeps spacing and letter shapes visually lively.
Best suited to short display settings where the alternating filled and outlined shapes can read as intentional graphic texture—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It will be most effective at moderate-to-large sizes where the thin strokes and collapsed counters remain clear.
The tone is playful and slightly eccentric, blending a modern minimalist outline with cartoon-like, ink-blob accents. Its mix of delicate lines and sudden solid spots gives it a witty, attention-grabbing rhythm that feels retro-futuristic and boutique rather than strictly utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a characterful display font that plays with counterforms—swapping traditional openings for solid shapes—to create a signature look. By pairing a restrained, geometric skeleton with selective filled elements, it aims to deliver high visual memorability and a distinctive word-image for branding and titles.
The filled-counter treatment appears selectively across the set (notably in some round letters and a few lowercase forms), which creates strong visual emphasis within words. Numerals follow the same thin, rounded construction, with similarly simplified, decorative shapes.
