A tall, tightly set sans with a monoline stroke and distinctly rounded terminals. Forms are narrow and vertically oriented, with open counters and gentle curvature that keeps the geometry soft rather than rigid. The rhythm is lightly irregular in a hand-drawn way, with small variations in curve tension and join behavior that add personality while staying consistent across the set. Descenders are notably long, and the overall proportions favor height over width, producing a slim, spacious texture in text.
Well suited to short-to-medium headlines where a slim footprint is helpful, such as posters, packaging, and social graphics. The rounded, hand-touched character also fits cheerful editorial accents, greeting cards, and children’s or playful branding applications where warmth matters more than strict neutrality.
The font reads as friendly and informal, with a slightly quirky, storybook tone. Its narrow, upright stance and rounded finishing give it a light, approachable voice that feels contemporary and playful rather than technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a personable, hand-drawn sans voice in a condensed silhouette, balancing clarity with charm. It aims to stand out through tall proportions and rounded finishing while remaining straightforward enough for common display text.
In running text, the tall ascenders/descenders and compact widths create a distinctive vertical cadence. The numerals match the same slender, rounded construction, keeping a cohesive feel for mixed alphanumeric settings.
