A condensed, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and gently irregular stroke behavior that evokes hand lettering. Curves are open and oval, counters are compact, and joins stay simple and clean without sharp angularity. Proportions are tall and narrow with generous sidebearing rhythm, producing an airy texture in lines of text. The lowercase is compact relative to the ascenders, and the figures follow the same slim, rounded construction for a consistent color.
Well-suited to short headlines, packaging copy, posters, and pull quotes where a friendly, hand-made voice is desired. It can also work for children’s materials or casual branding, especially where space is limited and a narrow, vertical rhythm helps fit text into tight layouts.
The overall tone is informal and personable, with a relaxed, lightly quirky rhythm that feels human rather than mechanical. Its narrow, tall stance reads neat and tidy, while the subtle irregularities keep it warm and conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver a simple, approachable sans with a hand-drawn flavor—maintaining clean construction and consistent strokes while introducing small, natural irregularities for warmth and personality.
The punctuation and letterforms shown keep a restrained, uncluttered silhouette, relying on open shapes and rounded endings for clarity. In running text, the condensed width increases characters-per-line while maintaining a soft, non-technical feel.
