A condensed, monoline sans with softly rounded corners and slightly uneven, hand-rendered contours. Strokes keep a consistent thickness with minimal modulation, while counters tend to be compact and rectangular-oval in character. The proportions are tall and narrow, with a lively rhythm created by small irregularities in curves and joins and occasional angular turns. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, upright construction, prioritizing simple silhouettes over strict geometric precision.
Works best for headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and branding that benefits from a friendly, handcrafted feel. It can be effective for short editorial callouts or UI accents where a narrow footprint is useful, but longer body text may require generous size and leading to maintain comfort.
The overall tone feels casual and personable, with a quirky, handmade energy that reads as approachable rather than formal. Its tall, narrow shapes and rounded terminals give it a lightly retro, display-oriented voice—playful and a bit offbeat without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive condensed voice that feels human and informal, combining simple sans construction with rounded, slightly imperfect outlines. It aims to stand out through character and rhythm rather than typographic neutrality, making it well-suited to display-led communication.
Spacing appears fairly tight and the condensed forms create a strong vertical texture in paragraphs, which can look energetic but may feel busy at smaller sizes. The letterforms favor simplified construction (straight stems, compact bowls, rounded corners), supporting bold headline statements and short bursts of text.
