A tall, condensed sans with a consistent monoline stroke and a pronounced rightward slant. Letterforms are built from simple straight stems and narrow, rounded bowls, producing an open, lightweight texture and a steady vertical rhythm. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt with occasional soft rounding, and counters stay relatively open despite the tight set width. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright structure with simple curves and minimal detailing.
Best suited to display roles where its condensed, slanted rhythm can add personality—such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and brand accents. It can also work for short UI labels or social graphics when you want an informal, handwritten feel without switching to a fully cursive script.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a handwritten energy that feels quick and human rather than engineered. Its slim, leaning silhouette reads as lively and contemporary, lending a light, breezy character to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver a handwritten-leaning sans that stays clean and legible while remaining compact. Its narrow width and steady monoline construction suggest a focus on fitting more characters into limited space while preserving a friendly, contemporary voice.
Capitals are especially tall and streamlined, while lowercase forms keep a simple, readable construction with modest differentiation between similar shapes. The slant and narrow proportions create a strong directional flow, which can emphasize motion and spontaneity in text lines.
