A tall, condensed monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and gently superelliptical curves. Strokes stay consistently thin with minimal modulation, giving the design a clean, continuous rhythm. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, and many forms emphasize elongated stems and slim bowls, producing an overall lightweight, linear texture. The construction feels slightly organic—like careful pen lettering—while remaining structurally simple and legible.
Best suited to display contexts where its slender, tall letterforms can breathe—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It also works well for short editorial callouts or captions when a light, refined voice is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the thin strokes remain clear.
The tone is light and friendly, with a subtle handmade charm that keeps it from feeling sterile. Its narrow, elongated proportions create an elegant, airy presence, while the rounded forms add approachability. Overall it reads as modern and whimsical, suited to calm, understated expression rather than loud impact.
The design appears intended to provide a minimal, condensed sans with rounded, superellipse-like shaping and a hand-drawn softness. It aims for a distinctive vertical elegance while staying simple and readable, offering a gentle alternative to more rigid geometric condensed faces.
The alphabet and figures maintain a consistent thin stroke and rounded geometry, which helps cohesion across mixed-case text. The sample paragraphs show a smooth, even color at larger sizes, with a distinctly vertical cadence that can feel spacious despite the condensed width.
