This typeface uses tall, condensed proportions with a lightly irregular, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes read mostly monolinear with subtle contrast and gently rounded, slightly blunted terminals. Curves lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a soft, squarish feel rather than perfect circles. Spacing and widths vary a bit by character, adding an organic texture while keeping forms clear and consistent across the set.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its narrow footprint and personable texture can be appreciated—headlines, packaging, posters, small-brand identities, and editorial callouts. It can work for brief passages at larger sizes, but its hand-drawn irregularity and condensed build make it more compelling as an accent voice than as a primary long-form text face.
The overall tone is informal and approachable, with a quirky, bookish charm. Its narrow, upright stance feels tidy and composed, while the small inconsistencies in stroke and curve tension introduce warmth and personality. The result lands between playful craft lettering and a clean display sans, making it feel friendly rather than sterile.
The design appears intended to offer a compact, space-saving sans with a handmade feel—mixing clean, upright structures with softened geometry and subtle irregularities. It prioritizes personality and charm while retaining straightforward letterforms that remain legible in typical display contexts.
Capitals are slender and vertical, with open shapes and minimal ornament, while lowercase forms maintain a simple, readable structure with rounded shoulders and compact bowls. Numerals follow the same narrow, softly squared construction, staying visually aligned with the letters. The texture becomes more evident in longer text, where the slight wobble and variable widths read as intentional character rather than distortion.
