A condensed sans with a lively, slightly irregular rhythm and gently uneven strokes that feel hand-shaped rather than mechanically uniform. Curves are narrow and taut, with small, softened terminals and occasional wedge-like ends that add a cut-paper or carved quality. Counters are compact and vertical, bowls stay slim, and diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X) show subtle asymmetry that enhances the informal texture. Overall spacing feels tight and vertical, producing a tall, lean color while maintaining clear letter differentiation.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding moments where a compact, characterful sans is needed. It can work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or labels, especially when you want a handmade display flavor without switching to a script.
The tone is quirky and upbeat, with a handmade, retro sensibility that reads friendly and a little mischievous. Its narrow, springy forms create an energetic voice suited to expressive headlines rather than neutral, corporate typography.
Likely designed to offer a distinctive condensed sans voice that feels human and handcrafted, adding personality and motion to titles while staying legible at display sizes.
Capitals and lowercase share a consistent narrow footprint, while individual glyphs vary in width enough to keep the line texture animated. Numerals follow the same slim, slightly wobbly construction, giving figures a casual, display-oriented feel.
