A compact, tall sans with softly rounded terminals and subtly irregular contours that suggest a hand-rendered or inked construction. Strokes are largely even, with gentle swelling and slight wobble that keeps edges from feeling mechanically perfect. Counters tend to be small and vertically oriented, and many curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving bowls and O-like forms a squarish softness. The overall rhythm is tight and upright, with small details (like hooks and joins) kept simple and sturdy for clear, bold silhouettes.
Works best in short to medium display settings where its condensed proportions and rounded, handmade texture can be appreciated—posters, product packaging, café or market signage, labels, and attention-grabbing headings. It can also suit playful interface headings or badges, while long-body text may feel busy due to the tight proportions and textured outlines.
The font reads approachable and informal, with a lightly eccentric, handmade energy. Its narrow, upright stance and rounded corners give it a friendly retro tone—more comic and craft-oriented than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to blend the clarity of a condensed sans with the warmth of hand-drawn letterforms, using rounded-rectangle geometry and slight irregularity to create a distinctive, friendly voice without sacrificing legibility.
Uppercase shapes are clean and condensed, while lowercase introduces more personality in characters like a, g, j, and y, reinforcing the casual texture. Numerals share the same narrow, rounded-rectangle logic, staying legible while keeping the quirky, slightly uneven finish consistent across the set.
