A condensed, rounded sans with softly tapered strokes and subtly irregular, hand-drawn-looking contours. Curves are generous and slightly squashed, with narrow counters and compact apertures that create a tight, vertical rhythm. Terminals tend to be blunt or gently rounded rather than sharply cut, and the overall geometry mixes simple circular bowls with small idiosyncrasies that keep the texture lively. Numerals follow the same compact, rounded construction and read clearly at display sizes.
Works best for short-to-medium display text where a tall, compact footprint is useful—posters, cover lines, packaging, logos, and social graphics. It can also suit playful UI labels or navigation items when used at larger sizes with comfortable tracking.
The font feels warm and approachable, with a lightly whimsical, retro sign-painting flavor. Its narrow proportions and soft shapes give it an upbeat, casual tone that suggests friendliness rather than formality.
Likely designed to deliver a condensed, space-saving sans that still feels human and characterful, blending simple rounded forms with subtle irregularities for a distinctive, personable voice.
Spacing appears compact, reinforcing a dense, headline-friendly color on the line. The lowercase shows a notably modest x-height relative to ascenders, which adds a slightly bookish, old-style charm despite the sans structure.
