A tall, slender display sans with rounded-rectangle construction and gently softened corners. Strokes stay mostly even with subtle thick–thin shifts, creating a clean, monolinear feel while preserving a hand-drawn liveliness. Curves are based on superelliptical bowls, with open apertures and generous interior spaces that keep forms legible despite the condensed proportions. The rhythm is slightly irregular from glyph to glyph, with distinctive, simplified structures and occasional sharp terminals that add graphic snap.
Best suited to headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where a distinctive voice is desired. It also works well for short editorial callouts, event graphics, and product labels that benefit from a playful, slightly vintage mood.
The overall tone is whimsical and lightly retro, suggesting mid-century signage and playful editorial titling. Its narrow, buoyant silhouettes feel friendly and a bit eccentric, making text look animated and personable rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, superelliptical construction with a human, slightly irregular finish, producing a modern display sans that feels approachable and memorable. It prioritizes character and silhouette impact in larger sizes while maintaining clear counters and straightforward letterforms for short text.
Uppercase forms read particularly tall and architectural, while lowercase keeps a simple, readable skeleton with compact ascenders/descenders and crisp dots. Numerals are stylized and characterful, matching the font’s display-first personality.
