A condensed, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and lightly imperfect stroke behavior that suggests a hand-drawn origin. Curves are smooth and somewhat elastic, while straight stems stay narrow and consistent, creating a tall, airy texture. Counters are compact but open enough for clarity, and the overall rhythm mixes uniform strokes with subtle, organic irregularities for a lively, human feel.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a personable, handcrafted sans is desirable—such as posters, packaging, café or boutique branding, and social media graphics. Its condensed build also makes it useful for fitting longer headings into tight horizontal space while keeping a light, friendly texture.
The tone is warm and informal, with a gentle quirkiness that keeps it from feeling corporate or rigid. Its tall, narrow proportions read as tidy and modern, while the rounded endings and slight wobble add charm and approachability.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, highly legible sans with a soft, humanized character—combining narrow efficiency with rounded terminals and an organic cadence to feel contemporary yet approachable.
Uppercase forms stay simple and streamlined, and the lowercase keeps a single-storey, uncomplicated feel in common shapes, reinforcing the casual voice. Numerals match the narrow build and rounded finishing, maintaining a cohesive color in mixed text.
