A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and consistently rounded terminals. Letterforms are narrow with generous internal counters and a slightly bouncy, hand-drawn regularity that keeps edges soft rather than mechanical. Curves are smooth and open (notably in C, G, O, and S), while vertical stems stay straight and even; joins and corners tend to be softened, producing an approachable rhythm. Numerals follow the same slim, rounded construction, with simple, readable shapes and minimal detailing.
This font suits short-to-medium display use where a friendly, space-saving voice is needed—such as packaging, labels, menus, posters, and storefront or event signage. It can also work for subheads or UI accents when a soft, approachable tone is desired and line length is limited.
The overall tone feels friendly and informal, with a light retro warmth. Its narrow proportions and rounded finishing give it a gentle, personable voice that reads as casual rather than corporate, and playful without becoming novelty.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, highly legible sans with a softened, rounded character—combining efficient narrow widths with a warm, informal personality for contemporary display typography.
Capitals are notably tall and slim, and the lowercase maintains strong vertical emphasis, creating an airy texture in text. Spacing appears comfortable for such narrow forms, helping prevent the condensed shapes from feeling cramped. The design favors clarity through open apertures and restrained detailing, keeping the silhouette clean and consistent across letters and figures.
