A tall, tightly set sans with a monoline stroke and soft, rounded terminals. The forms are slim and vertical with a lightly irregular, hand-drawn steadiness that keeps strokes smooth but not mechanically rigid. Counters stay open and simple, and the overall rhythm feels slightly bouncy due to small variations in curve tension and join behavior. Lowercase ascenders are notably long, while the x-height reads modest, giving text an airy midline and emphasizing verticality in words.
It performs best in short-to-medium headline settings where its tall, condensed proportions can add personality without needing heavy weight. Good fits include packaging, posters, invitations, greeting cards, and youth-oriented or playful branding, as well as pull quotes and UI labels where a friendly, informal accent is desired.
The font projects a friendly, informal tone with a gently whimsical personality. Its narrow, elongated shapes and rounded finishes feel approachable and lightly humorous, making it well-suited to upbeat messaging rather than strictly corporate voice.
The design appears intended to provide a clean sans structure with hand-drawn charm—prioritizing approachability, compact width, and a distinctive vertical silhouette for display typography.
Round characters like C, O, and Q are drawn as narrow ovals, and the dot on i/j is small and neat, reinforcing a tidy-but-human feel. Numerals follow the same slim, rounded construction and maintain clear differentiation at text sizes.
