A tall, condensed sans with gently irregular, hand-drawn contours and a lively, slightly wavy vertical rhythm. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation, with narrow counters and compact bowls that keep the texture dense. Terminals are mostly blunt with occasional tapered joins, and curves feel subtly off-round, contributing to an organic, non-mechanical finish. Spacing appears a bit inconsistent by design, reinforcing a casual, crafted look across both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where character is the priority: posters, titles, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from an offbeat, handcrafted feel. It can also work for pull quotes or signage when set with generous line spacing to accommodate its tall proportions and lively rhythm.
The font reads as whimsical and personable, with a lighthearted, slightly eccentric tone reminiscent of playful display lettering. Its narrow, springy forms and uneven rhythm give it a friendly, informal voice that feels more human than neutral.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive, hand-rendered display voice within a condensed footprint, balancing legibility with deliberate irregularity for charm and energy.
Capitals are notably tall and attention-grabbing, while the lowercase keeps a compact, petite presence; together they create a lively mixed-case color. Numerals follow the same condensed, slightly quirky construction, supporting cohesive display use.
