A compact, rounded sans with softly squared curves and subtly irregular stroke terminals that give it a handmade rhythm. Forms are tall and condensed, with simplified geometry and low modulation, producing solid, even color in text. Counters tend to be small and rounded-rectangular, and many joins and endings show slight flare or taper that keeps the silhouette lively. Numerals and capitals match the narrow proportions, with a slightly wavy baseline feel in running text despite the overall upright stance.
Best suited to display applications where its condensed footprint and playful texture can stand out: headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks with a friendly tone. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but the tight counters and condensed proportions are likely to feel busy in long paragraphs at small sizes.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a lightly offbeat, cartoonish energy. Its narrow, springy shapes and softened corners suggest a mid-century display sensibility—approachable rather than strict—making the voice feel chatty and characterful.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, personable sans that combines rounded-rectangle construction with subtle hand-drawn irregularity. Its narrow proportions prioritize impact and space efficiency while keeping a warm, approachable voice.
Text samples show strong vertical emphasis and tight internal space, so larger sizes read most comfortably. The irregularities appear intentional and consistent across the set, adding personality without drifting into a fully script-like look.
