A compact, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and slightly irregular curves that evoke a hand-drawn construction. Proportions are condensed overall, with narrow counters and tight interior space, while stroke weight stays even and clean. The lowercase is small relative to the capitals, and ascenders/descenders are long and prominent, giving lines a lively vertical rhythm. Shapes favor simple, open forms and gentle corners rather than hard geometry, producing a smooth, approachable texture in words.
Well suited to packaging, posters, and headline or subhead settings where a friendly, condensed voice helps fit more text into limited space. It also works for branding, café/retail signage, and playful UI labels where warmth and approachability are more important than strict neutrality.
The tone is warm and informal, balancing clarity with a lightly quirky personality. Its narrow build and rounded endings create a personable, easygoing feel that reads as playful rather than corporate. The overall impression is nostalgic and crafty, like a neat marker or sign-painting influence translated into a tidy text face.
Likely designed to deliver a narrow, space-saving sans with rounded terminals and a hand-made feel, keeping strokes simple and consistent for clean reproduction. The emphasis appears to be on charm and readability at display and short-text sizes, with distinctive proportions that give words a memorable silhouette.
In running text, the tall ascenders and deep descenders create distinctive word shapes and a bouncy rhythm. Numerals and capitals keep the same rounded, monoline logic, helping headings and short labels feel consistent with body copy.
