A tall, tightly set sans with condensed proportions and subtly uneven, hand-inked contours. Strokes show gentle waviness and slight edge texture, giving the letterforms a printed or brushed look rather than a sterile geometric finish. Curves are rounded and compact, with simplified construction and open counters that keep the narrow shapes readable. Terminals are mostly blunt and vertical, and the overall rhythm mixes steady structure with small, intentional irregularities.
Well suited to display roles where a compact, attention-getting voice is useful—posters, headlines, labels, and branding. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) where a handmade tone is desired, especially when paired with a calmer companion for longer reading.
The font reads as quirky and approachable, with a casual, handmade character that feels human and slightly mischievous. Its narrow, upright stance adds urgency and energy, while the soft rounding keeps the tone friendly rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, space-saving display sans with a deliberately imperfect, analog texture—combining simple rounded construction with a lively, hand-drawn finish to create personality without sacrificing clarity.
Lowercase forms appear straightforward and legible, while capitals and numerals keep the same tall, compact footprint for a consistent typographic color. The texture is subtle but persistent, so it becomes more noticeable at larger sizes and in bold, high-contrast settings.
