A tall, condensed sans with a consistent single-stroke feel and softly rounded terminals. Curves are narrow and vertical, giving bowls (O, C, e) an elongated oval profile, while straight strokes remain clean and even. The overall spacing is tight and rhythmic, with simple, open counters and minimal detailing, producing a clear, lightweight texture in text.
Best suited for short-to-medium text at larger sizes, such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and brand wordmarks where a tall, condensed voice helps fit copy into narrow spaces. It can also work for UI labels or captions when you want a light, friendly tone without visual heaviness.
The narrow proportions and rounded ends create a friendly, approachable tone with a subtle hand-lettered quirk. It feels informal and contemporary, leaning toward playful clarity rather than strict geometric precision.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving sans with a gentle, approachable personality. Its simplified, rounded construction prioritizes a clean rhythm and quick recognition over typographic formality.
Distinctive shapes include a very slender O/0, a narrow S, and simplified figures that read clearly at display sizes. The lowercase maintains an even, restrained construction, and the dotted i/j and open apertures contribute to an uncluttered, readable line.
