A condensed, monoline sans with generously rounded terminals and softly modulated curves that give the letterforms a slightly hand-drawn regularity. Stems are tall and narrow with consistent stroke weight, while bowls and shoulders stay compact, creating a tight, vertical rhythm. Counters are small but open enough to remain clear, and joins are smooth rather than sharply geometric, producing a gentle, rubbery silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same narrow proportions and rounded finishing, keeping the set visually cohesive in text.
Best suited to headlines, short blurbs, and display typography where its condensed proportions can save space while adding personality. It works well for packaging, labels, and brand marks that want a friendly, retro-leaning voice, and it can hold up in medium-length text when set with comfortable tracking and leading.
The overall tone is lighthearted and approachable, with a vintage sign-painting and mid-century display feel. Its narrow, bouncy shapes read as energetic and a bit quirky, making it more expressive than neutral while still staying clean and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with softened, rounded details—combining efficient narrow proportions with an informal, approachable character for attention-grabbing display settings.
Uppercase forms read tall and tidy, while the lowercase adds character through rounded ascenders/descenders and compact bowls. The spacing and proportions favor display use, and the consistent rounded stroke endings help keep texture even in longer lines.
