A tall, condensed sans with a monoline stroke and softly rounded terminals. Curves are narrow and vertical, giving letters an elongated, column-like silhouette, while joins remain simple and open. Bowls and counters are compact but clear, and spacing is even enough to keep the texture tidy despite the tight proportions. The lowercase uses straightforward, single-storey forms where applicable, with modest ascenders/descenders that maintain a neat, vertical rhythm.
Works well for headlines, short captions, and display copy where a slim, friendly voice is needed—such as posters, packaging, educational materials, or youth-oriented branding. It can also suit compact UI labels or navigation where vertical economy is useful, provided sizes are large enough to preserve the open counters.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a gentle, hand-drawn feel created by the softened ends and slim proportions. It reads as approachable and slightly whimsical without becoming decorative or overly expressive.
The design appears intended to offer a clean, narrow sans with softened terminals for an approachable, hand-made personality. Its consistent monoline construction and tall proportions prioritize a distinctive, space-efficient texture that stays readable in display settings.
In the sample text, the font maintains a consistent narrow rhythm across uppercase and lowercase, helping long lines look organized while still feeling casual. Numerals follow the same tall, rounded construction, matching the alphabet’s texture for cohesive mixed content.
