A tall, condensed sans with a simple monoline build and softly rounded terminals. Forms are narrow and slightly uneven in a way that feels hand-drawn rather than mechanically rigid, with gentle bends on curves and subtly varied stroke placement. Counters are small and vertical, and the overall rhythm is loose but consistent, giving words a lively, upright texture. Numerals and lowercase keep the same slim proportions, with rounded joins and a light, open presence on the page.
It works well for display use where a narrow footprint is helpful—posters, packaging, labels, and brand marks that want a friendly, handcrafted feel. It can also suit invitations, social graphics, and children-oriented or lighthearted editorial headings where personality matters more than strict neutrality.
The font reads friendly and informal, with a whimsical, sketch-like personality that keeps it approachable. Its narrow, buoyant letterforms suggest a casual, conversational tone—more personal than corporate, and more playful than austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, readable sans with a hand-made, rounded character—prioritizing charm and approachability while keeping letterforms straightforward and clean.
The condensed proportions create strong verticality and tight word shapes, while rounded ends prevent it from feeling sharp. The mix of simple geometric tendencies with slight irregularity adds charm and helps it stand out in short phrases and headings.
