A tall, condensed sans with consistently thin strokes and softly rounded terminals. Curves are narrow and vertical stress dominates, producing an even, column-like rhythm in text. Counters are compact but open enough to stay readable, and joins remain simple and smooth without angular breaks. The overall texture is light and tidy, with a slightly hand-drawn looseness in proportions that keeps it from feeling rigid.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where vertical economy matters, such as headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for UI elements and signage when a light, friendly voice is desired, especially at sizes where its narrow width helps fit more characters per line.
The narrow, rounded forms create a gentle, approachable tone that feels casual and slightly whimsical. Its light touch and simple construction suggest a modern-retro sensibility—more friendly than technical, and more playful than formal.
The design appears intended to offer a space-saving sans with rounded, humanized finishing, balancing clean construction with a slightly informal feel. It aims for an unobtrusive but characterful voice that stays legible while adding a gentle personality.
Uppercase letters maintain a uniform, upright stance with minimal contrast, while the lowercase introduces subtle personality in shapes like the single-storey a and g and the softly hooked descenders. Figures follow the same narrow, rounded logic, making them visually consistent in mixed settings such as headlines or short UI labels.
