A condensed sans with softly squared, rounded-rectangle construction and gently irregular, inked edges. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal contrast, producing sturdy, compact letterforms and tight interior counters. Curves and terminals feel blunted and slightly uneven, like a brush-pen or marker translated into a disciplined grid. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable structure (single-storey a, compact bowls, short crossbars), while the uppercase stays tall and narrow with rounded corners and simplified geometry.
Best suited for display contexts where a condensed, friendly voice is useful—posters, packaging callouts, café/retail signage, and brand marks that want a handmade feel. It also works well for short editorial headlines and pull quotes where texture and character matter more than long-form text economy.
The overall tone is casual and approachable, with a handmade wobble that reads as warm rather than messy. Its narrow, upright stance and chunky strokes give it a confident, poster-like energy, while the softened corners keep it friendly and humorous. The style evokes vintage sign lettering and playful editorial display type.
The design appears intended to blend condensed efficiency with a crafted, human touch—using rounded-rectangle shapes and consistent weight to stay bold and legible, while preserving slight irregularities for charm and personality. It aims to feel modern-simple at a distance, yet clearly hand-influenced up close.
Spacing in the samples reads compact and rhythmic, supporting stacked lines and dense headlines. Distinctive narrow numerals and simple punctuation match the same rounded, slightly irregular finish, helping mixed-case text maintain a cohesive, informal personality.
