A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Curves are built from narrow ovals and gentle arcs, while verticals dominate the silhouette, giving the alphabet a lean, towering rhythm. Proportions are intentionally uneven across letters—some capitals (like M, W, and Q) expand or stylize more than their neighbors—creating a lively, slightly irregular texture. Lowercase forms are compact with small bowls and short ascenders/descenders, and the numerals follow the same narrow, elongated construction with simple, open shapes.
This font is best suited to display settings where its tall proportions and idiosyncratic letterforms can be appreciated—posters, headings, signage, packaging, and book or album covers. It can work for short bursts of copy or taglines at comfortable sizes, but the condensed structure and compact lowercase suggest avoiding long, small-body text.
The overall tone is quirky and lighthearted, with a subtle handmade feel rather than a strictly engineered look. Its tall, skinny stance and softly rounded geometry evoke a retro, poster-like charm that feels friendly and slightly eccentric.
The design appears intended to provide a characterful, condensed sans voice that feels approachable and decorative. By combining simple monoline construction with playful, slightly irregular proportions, it aims to deliver strong visual personality while staying clean and legible in headline use.
Distinctive display details stand out in capitals, such as the narrow, looped Q and the sharply peaked V/W constructions, which add character in headlines. In continuous text, the uneven widths and tight internal spaces create an animated, rhythmic line that favors larger sizes over dense reading.
