A compact, narrow sans with softly squared curves and rounded corners that give many forms a superelliptical feel. Strokes are mostly even with subtle modulation, and terminals are clean and rounded rather than sharply cut. Counters tend toward oval or rounded-rectangle shapes, and many letters show gently tapered joins that keep the texture lively without becoming calligraphic. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with modest apertures and slightly idiosyncratic proportions that remain consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works well for branding and packaging where a friendly, vintage-leaning voice is desired, and for posters or headlines that need character without heavy ornament. It can also support editorial pull quotes and short paragraphs when a compact, distinctive texture is acceptable, especially at moderate-to-large sizes.
The font projects a warm, slightly retro personality with a playful, hand-tuned nuance. Its soft geometry reads approachable and informal, making the tone feel friendly and a bit quirky rather than corporate or strictly neutral.
Likely designed to blend simple sans structure with softened, superelliptical geometry to create an approachable display face. The intention appears to be a balance of clarity and personality—recognizable forms, but with enough quirky shaping to feel bespoke and memorable.
Uppercase forms keep a straightforward skeleton while introducing distinctive details—like rounded shoulders and softened diagonals—that add character in display sizes. The lowercase maintains a clear, readable structure with noticeable individuality in shapes such as the single-storey-style forms and compact bowls, helping it stand out in headlines. Numerals follow the same soft-rectilinear logic, matching the letterforms closely for cohesive mixed-content typography.
