A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and rounded terminals. Uppercase forms are narrow and vertical, with simplified geometry and gentle curves in bowls and rounds. Lowercase shows a noticeably small x-height with long ascenders and descenders, creating a high vertical rhythm and lots of internal white space. Proportions vary by glyph—some letters and figures expand slightly while others stay extremely slim—giving the set an uneven, lively texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed height and quirky rhythm can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging titles. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or captions when generous leading and spacing are available, but the very small x-height makes it less comfortable for long body text.
The overall tone feels whimsical and slightly offbeat, like a vintage display face with a handmade, poster-like charm. Its thin, elongated structure reads airy and stylish, while the irregular width and tiny lowercase bodies add a playful, characterful voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive condensed display voice: tall, economical letterforms with simple rounded construction and a deliberately playful irregularity, prioritizing personality and vertical elegance over neutral text readability.
The typeface relies on verticality: tall stems, narrow counters, and long descenders (notably in letters like j, p, q, and y) become a defining feature. Numerals and punctuation follow the same slender, rounded construction, helping headlines keep a consistent, lightweight silhouette.
