A narrow, monolinear sans with rounded corners and frequent tapering or flared terminals that give strokes a soft, brush-cut feel. Curves are tall and oval, with many bowls drawn as near-vertical forms rather than perfect circles, and counters that stay open and generous. The construction mixes clean vertical stems with subtly uneven joins and occasional inward notches, creating a lively, slightly irregular texture. Lowercase forms are simple and open, with a single-storey a and g and a lightly hooked, compact f; numerals are similarly narrow with rounded, friendly shapes.
Best suited to short display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and storefront or event signage where its quirky geometry and tapered terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for branding accents and pull quotes when paired with a calmer text face. For long-form reading, its narrow width and irregular rhythm may feel busy compared to more neutral sans designs.
The overall tone feels playful and slightly retro, like mid-century signage or a hand-cut display alphabet cleaned up for digital use. Its bouncy rhythm and softened terminals read approachable and idiosyncratic rather than strict or corporate. The result is upbeat and characterful without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended as a distinctive display sans that borrows from hand-drawn and sign-painting cues while retaining a clear, upright skeleton. It prioritizes personality through flared terminals, rounded corners, and slightly unconventional curves, aiming to deliver a friendly, memorable voice in titles and branding.
Distinctive details—such as the curved, almost calligraphic strokes on letters like S and the pointed joins in V/W—add personality and help the face stand out at display sizes. The narrow proportions and tall ovals encourage tight headline setting, while the variable internal shapes can create a textured, handcrafted cadence across longer words.
