A tall, condensed monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and simple, clean construction. Curves lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters an even, controlled feel, while straight strokes stay slender and consistent. Letterforms are narrow with generous vertical reach; extenders are prominent and punctuation is minimal and tidy. Overall spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, contributing to a casual rhythm without losing legibility.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a compact width and a personable tone. It also works for short bursts of text in social graphics, captions, and pull quotes where its narrow rhythm and distinctive silhouettes can carry the message without feeling heavy.
The font reads friendly and whimsical, with a lightly offbeat, handmade character. Its narrow, upright stance feels energetic and chatty, lending a subtly retro, sign-like charm that stays approachable rather than formal.
Designed to deliver a condensed, friendly sans voice with rounded-rectilinear forms and a deliberately casual cadence. The goal appears to be high personality in a lightweight, space-saving footprint that remains clear in display settings.
Capitals are especially tall and clean, and the numerals follow the same slim, rounded-rectilinear logic. The sample text shows an open, airy texture in lines of copy, with distinctive descenders and narrow forms that keep long phrases compact.
