A tall, condensed monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and lightly irregular, hand-drawn stroke behavior. Forms are narrow and vertical, with generous internal whitespace and a steady, low-contrast line. Curves are smooth and simple, while joins and corners stay slightly softened, giving the alphabet an informal, human rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain the same slim proportions, creating an overall light, airy texture in text.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, and short callouts where a friendly, handcrafted tone is desired. It can work nicely in packaging, café or boutique branding, and children-oriented or lighthearted editorial accents. For longer text, it’s likely strongest in larger sizes or as occasional emphasis rather than dense body copy.
The font reads as friendly and approachable, with a playful, sketchbook-like personality. Its narrow, upright stance feels tidy and upbeat, while the subtle irregularities keep it from feeling sterile or mechanical. Overall it suggests casual communication, whimsy, and a relaxed, modern craft tone.
The design appears intended to provide a clean, legible sans foundation with a gentle hand-drawn feel, combining narrow vertical proportions with rounded finishing to keep the tone soft and welcoming. It prioritizes simplicity and charm over strict geometric precision, aiming for an easygoing display voice that stays readable.
Spacing appears open relative to the narrow letterforms, which helps readability in short lines but can make longer paragraphs feel light and vertical. The design’s consistent rounding and simple construction keep words recognizable, while the handwritten wobble adds character best appreciated at display sizes.
