A condensed, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened terminals throughout. Strokes are even and relatively dark, with gently irregular contours that suggest a hand-drawn or stamped origin rather than strict geometric precision. Curves are compact and boxy (notably in C, O, Q, and digits), counters stay open despite the narrow fit, and joins remain simple and clean. Overall rhythm is vertical and airy, with tall proportions, modest curvature, and consistent stroke endings that keep the texture cohesive in text.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and display typography where its condensed proportions help fit more characters per line while maintaining a friendly tone. It works well for packaging, labels, café menus, event posters, and brand wordmarks that want a handcrafted, contemporary feel. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at moderate sizes with generous line spacing.
The font reads as approachable and lightly eccentric, balancing clean simplicity with a human, slightly imperfect touch. Its narrow, tall stance and rounded forms give it a playful, indie tone that feels informal and personable rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean sans silhouette with a rounded-rectangle geometry, then soften it with slight irregularities for warmth and personality. The condensed proportions and sturdy monoline strokes suggest an emphasis on attention-grabbing display use and practical readability in compact spaces.
Distinctive cues include the rounded, squared-off bowls, the compact curves, and the subtle wobble in stroke edges that adds character without sacrificing legibility. In running text the condensed spacing creates a lively, column-like texture, while capitals remain clear and signage-friendly due to their straightforward construction.
