A condensed, tall sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded terminals. The letterforms are simple and clean but intentionally irregular in small ways, with slight wobble in verticals and subtle asymmetries that give a hand-drawn feel. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous for the width, and spacing reads even in text while preserving a narrow, economical silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, short blocks of copy, and brand applications where a slim, tall voice helps fit more characters per line. It can work well for posters, packaging, menus, and signage that benefit from a friendly retro flavor while remaining legible at moderate sizes.
The overall tone feels approachable and lightly nostalgic, like mid-century display lettering interpreted with a casual, human touch. Its gentle irregularities keep it from feeling corporate, adding warmth and personality without becoming overly decorative.
The font appears designed to offer a compact, readable sans with a subtle handcrafted character—balancing clean construction with gentle imperfections to create an inviting, distinctive texture in display and text settings.
The design maintains a consistent condensed rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping paragraphs look cohesive. Round characters like O/Q and the bowls of b/d/p stay fairly open, supporting clarity, while the narrow build adds distinctive vertical emphasis.
