A condensed sans with tall proportions and gently rounded, superellipse-like curves. Strokes are mostly monoline with subtle, organic irregularities that create a slightly hand-drawn texture rather than strict geometric precision. Counters tend to be compact and vertically oriented, with narrow apertures and a consistent, upright stance. The lowercase is compact with relatively small bowls and short extenders, while capitals read narrow and statuesque; overall spacing feels even but with a natural, lively rhythm.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its narrow build and quirky texture can add personality—posters, headlines, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It can work for brief editorial callouts or captions when generous size and leading preserve clarity, but it’s most effective when used as a characterful display face rather than for long, small-size reading.
The overall tone is friendly and idiosyncratic, balancing a clean sans structure with an informal, handmade edge. Its condensed silhouettes and softly squared curves lend a mild retro flavor, making text feel energetic and characterful without becoming overtly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving sans with a human touch—combining condensed proportions and rounded, superellipse-inspired forms to create a distinctive, approachable voice for contemporary display typography.
Round forms like O, Q, and 0 appear more oval than circular, reinforcing the vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rectangle logic and stay clear at display sizes, contributing to a cohesive, poster-like color on the page.
