A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness, while many joins and terminals taper into sharp, slightly faceted points, giving the letters a cut-paper or chiseled feel. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than pure circles, so counters read as squarish-oval and corners feel softly pinched. Spacing is compact and the overall texture is vertical and tight, with narrow bowls and upright stems.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its condensed footprint helps fit long titles into tight spaces. It works well for editorial headlines, posters, book covers, and brand or packaging moments that benefit from a playful, distinctive texture. For extended reading, it will be most comfortable at moderate sizes with generous line spacing.
The tone is quirky and slightly mischievous—more storybook and offbeat than neutral. Its narrow silhouette and pointed endings add energy and a hint of vintage display character, making text feel animated and handcrafted rather than strictly industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-saving sans with a distinctive, handmade edge—mixing rounded-rectangle construction with sharpened terminals to create a memorable, spirited voice.
Uppercase forms appear simplified and tall, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes (notably the single-storey constructions and compact bowls), reinforcing an informal, characterful voice. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright pattern with small counters and crisp terminals, keeping the set visually consistent in dense settings.
