A condensed, monoline sans with rounded terminals and softly irregular stroke behavior that suggests a hand-drawn marker or pen. Forms are tall and narrow with generous counters where possible, and a slightly uneven rhythm that keeps repeated stems from feeling mechanical. Curves are simple and open, joins are smooth, and overall proportions lean vertical, giving the alphabet a tidy columnar feel despite its organic wobble.
Works well for short to medium-length text where a friendly, informal voice is desired—such as headlines, posters, invitations, greeting cards, classroom materials, and playful packaging. Its condensed width is useful when space is tight, while the rounded, hand-drawn texture keeps display copy personable.
The font reads lighthearted and approachable, with a casual, personal tone. Its narrow, upright stance feels neat and upbeat, while the subtle irregularities add warmth and a quirky, informal charm.
The design appears intended to blend a clean sans structure with a hand-rendered sensibility—prioritizing warmth, approachability, and space-saving narrow proportions over strict geometric precision.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent narrow skeleton, and the numerals match the same tall, rounded construction for cohesive mixed-setting. The texture stays even at text sizes, but the condensed proportions and handwritten irregularity make it feel more expressive than utilitarian.
