A condensed, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and a lightly irregular, hand-drawn finish. Strokes stay even in thickness with gentle curves and occasional subtle wobble, giving the outlines a human rhythm while remaining clean and legible. Proportions are tall and narrow with open counters; ascenders feel prominent and the lowercase forms keep a straightforward, printed construction rather than cursive connectivity. Numerals follow the same slim, rounded logic and sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well-suited to packaging, café or boutique branding, posters, and social media graphics where a personable, handcrafted voice is desirable. It also works for short to medium-length text in invitations, menus, and playful editorial callouts, especially when you want a compact footprint with a soft, friendly texture.
The overall tone is approachable and informal, combining a neat, simplified structure with a whimsical, handmade charm. It reads as friendly and lightly eccentric rather than polished or corporate, making text feel conversational and relaxed.
Likely designed to deliver a narrow, readable sans with a hand-rendered warmth—keeping letterforms simple and open while using rounded terminals and controlled irregularity to add character.
Spacing appears airy and the narrow letterforms help long lines stay compact, while the rounded joins prevent the texture from becoming harsh. The slight irregularity is consistent enough to feel intentional, adding personality without sacrificing clarity in short passages.
