A tall, tightly set sans with condensed proportions and lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with hairline joins and thicker verticals, and terminals that often taper or curve rather than ending bluntly. Counters are generally narrow and vertically oriented, and several forms lean on gentle asymmetry and slight waviness, creating an organic, drawn feel despite an overall upright stance. The digit set follows the same narrow, high-waisted construction, with rounded figures and delicate connections that keep the texture light.
Best suited to display typography where its condensed height and quirky contrast can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging, and identity work. It can also add personality to short subheads or pull quotes, but will generally be more effective in brief settings than in dense, continuous reading.
The tone is friendly and offbeat, balancing elegance from its thin-thick contrast with a casual, handcrafted charm. It reads as slightly theatrical and retro, with a whimsical personality that feels more expressive than strictly neutral.
The design appears intended to provide a characterful, space-saving display voice: tall and economical in width, but visually expressive through contrast, tapered terminals, and subtly hand-drawn irregularities.
The alphabet shows intentional irregularities in stroke modulation and terminal behavior that add character at display sizes. Some letterforms appear simplified and airy, with narrow apertures and occasional hook-like details that give the line a distinctive, animated texture.
