A condensed, monoline sans with softly rounded terminals and gently modulated, hand-drawn-looking curves. Proportions are tall and slender, with narrow bowls and open counters that keep the texture light on the page. Capitals are simple and clean, while lowercase forms show slightly more personality (single-storey a and g, tall l, and compact, rounded e). Figures are similarly slim and open, with a narrow 0 and a straightforward 1, giving numerals a consistent, understated rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and display settings where a light, narrow voice is useful—posters, packaging copy, brand taglines, and editorial callouts. The condensed proportions also make it practical for UI labels, menus, and other space-conscious applications where a friendly tone is desired.
The overall tone is approachable and lightly whimsical—more like neat marker lettering than a rigid geometric sans. Its narrow, airy color feels modern and informal, with a subtle retro sign-painting flavor that reads as friendly rather than technical.
Likely designed to provide a clean, space-saving sans with rounded, human warmth—bridging simple signage lettering and contemporary minimalism. The aim appears to be legibility and charm in compact widths, especially for display typography.
Stroke endings stay consistently rounded, which softens joins and corners and helps the typeface feel cohesive at larger sizes. The condensed width creates strong vertical emphasis, so lines of text form a tidy, columnar rhythm without appearing heavy.
