A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. Curves are drawn with a slightly uneven, hand-drawn feel, giving counters an organic, gently wobbly quality rather than strict geometry. Proportions are narrow with generous vertical reach, and spacing is open enough to keep the texture light and legible. The lowercase is simple and clean, while select capitals and figures introduce subtle idiosyncrasies that reinforce the informal rhythm.
Works well for posters, packaging, and branding that benefits from an informal, handcrafted voice. The narrow build makes it useful for headlines and short blocks where space is tight, and it can also serve for book covers or pull quotes when a friendly, distinctive texture is desired.
The overall tone is friendly and lightly whimsical, like neat marker lettering refined into a consistent typeface. It feels approachable and conversational, with just enough irregularity to read as human and warm rather than strictly utilitarian.
Likely designed to capture the charm of hand-lettered signage in a clean, repeatable system: narrow, tall forms, monoline construction, and soft curves that stay readable while conveying personality.
The sample text shows a calm, even color in longer lines despite the condensed proportions, with round letters staying open and readable. Numerals follow the same slender, rounded logic, suited to casual display and short informational use.
