A tall, condensed sans with consistently rounded terminals and a smooth, monoline stroke. Forms are simplified and gently irregular, giving a hand-drawn feel while keeping a steady vertical posture and clean, open counters. Curves are narrow and elongated (notably in C/O/Q and lowercase bowls), with compact joins and a generally even rhythm; diagonals in K/V/W/X are slim and slightly springy rather than rigidly geometric. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded construction, staying clear and uncluttered at display sizes.
Works best for display typography—headlines, posters, packaging, and branding that wants a casual, welcoming voice. It also suits social graphics and short UI labels where a narrow footprint is helpful, but its personality and condensed proportions make it less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a playful, slightly whimsical bounce created by soft endings and subtly uneven gestures. It feels approachable and modern, leaning more toward cheerful everyday communication than strict corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, space-efficient sans with a soft, hand-drawn friendliness. Its narrow, tall proportions and rounded finishing aim to feel contemporary and approachable while staying legible and consistent across letters and figures.
Spacing reads on the open side for such a condensed design, which helps prevent the narrow proportions from feeling cramped in words. The mix of rounded caps and simple lowercase shapes supports quick scanning in short lines, while the condensed width adds a poster-like verticality.
