A condensed, tall sans with rounded, superellipse-like curves and subtly wobbled contours that read as hand-drawn rather than geometric. Strokes stay fairly even with modest thick–thin variation, and terminals are generally blunt and softly rounded. Counters are small and vertical proportions are emphasized, giving the alphabet a narrow, upright rhythm. Spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, irregular texture in text.
Best suited to display roles where texture and personality are desirable: posters, cover titles, packaging, and branding accents. It can also work for short bursts of text (pull quotes, captions, labels) where a handcrafted voice is more important than a neutral reading rhythm.
The overall tone is playful and human, with a sketchy, homemade energy that feels friendly rather than formal. Its narrow, upright stance adds a slightly theatrical, storybook character, making it feel expressive and a bit eccentric.
The design appears intended to deliver a narrow, space-saving display sans with an intentionally imperfect, hand-drawn finish. It aims to combine rounded, superellipse-inspired construction with lively irregularities to create a distinctive, personable voice.
Round letters like O/C show squarish-rounded inner shapes, while joins and curves occasionally pinch or swell in a way that suggests brush or marker pressure. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed construction and keep the same soft, hand-rendered edges, helping mixed text feel consistent.
