A compact sans with rounded geometry and a slightly irregular, hand-drawn feel. Strokes stay sturdy with softened corners and subtly tapered joins, creating a smooth, ink-like texture rather than a rigid geometric build. Counters are small-to-medium and the overall fit is tight, giving lines a dense, efficient color. Several forms show gentle asymmetry and occasional angled cuts, reinforcing an informal, crafted character while maintaining clear skeletons for text.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at display sizes where its condensed footprint and lively rhythm can carry a message with personality. It works well for posters, packaging callouts, branding wordmarks, and social graphics that need friendly impact in limited space. In longer passages, it will be most comfortable with generous leading to keep the dense texture from feeling crowded.
The tone is warm and approachable, with a playful, slightly quirky energy. Its condensed proportions and buoyant shapes feel youthful and conversational, lending a lighthearted voice without becoming decorative or novelty-driven.
Likely designed to offer a space-saving sans with an intentionally human, handcrafted edge—combining compact proportions with rounded, softened details for approachable, characterful display typography.
The uppercase reads tall and compact, while the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with rounded bowls and simple, single-storey-style constructions visible in key letters. Numerals follow the same soft, compact logic and match the text color well, supporting mixed-content settings like headings with dates or prices.
