A tall, condensed sans with an intentionally uneven, hand-drawn rhythm. Strokes show clear contrast, with thin hairlines paired against heavier verticals and gently tapered joins, creating a lively texture across words. Terminals are mostly rounded or softly blunted, and curves are slightly wobbly rather than geometric, giving letters an organic, inked feel. Proportions are compact with narrow set widths and small-to-moderate apertures, while bowls and counters stay open enough to keep the overall color light on the page.
Best suited to display work where its uneven rhythm and stroke contrast can add personality—posters, packaging, brand marks, and editorial headings. It can also work for short blocks of text at comfortable sizes where a distinctive, handcrafted voice is desired.
The overall tone is friendly and quirky, like casual lettering refined into a consistent type system. It reads as retro-leaning and personable rather than formal, adding character and motion to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-rendered, ink-on-paper sensibility while remaining clean and legible in digital typesetting. Its contrast and condensed proportions aim to deliver personality and efficiency in tight spaces without becoming decorative or script-like.
Mixed-case relationships emphasize tall ascenders and a compact lowercase footprint, producing a bouncy line when set in text. Numerals match the same calligraphic contrast and softened terminals, keeping digits cohesive with the letters in display settings.
