A condensed, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and a lightly hand-drawn regularity. Strokes maintain an even thickness with gentle curvature at joins, giving counters a narrow, vertical feel and keeping texture open at small sizes. Capitals are tall and slim with simplified construction, while lowercase shows compact bowls and a short x-height with long ascenders/descenders that add vertical rhythm. Figures are narrow and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ restrained, upright stance.
Works well for packaging, posters, and display typography where a friendly, condensed voice is useful. It can also support branding accents, social posts, and short UI labels when a casual, personable tone is desired, especially in larger sizes where its narrow structure and rounded terminals are most legible.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a slightly quirky, handmade warmth. Its narrow proportions and rounded finish keep it approachable rather than strict, making it feel conversational and light. The voice reads modern-casual, suited to playful messaging without becoming overtly decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, approachable sans that feels hand-touched while staying clean and readable. Its narrow build suggests space-conscious display use, while the rounded terminals and simplified forms aim for an inviting, everyday character.
Letterforms favor simplicity over strict geometric precision, producing a relaxed rhythm in words and a slightly varied, humanized feel across shapes. The condensed set-width creates efficient lines and a distinctive vertical emphasis in headings and short phrases.
