A tall, condensed sans with monoline strokes and consistently rounded terminals. Letters are built from simple, soft-rectangle curves and straight stems, with gentle irregularities that suggest a drawn construction rather than geometric precision. Counters are small but open enough to stay readable at text sizes, and the overall rhythm is vertical and lightly bouncy, with modest overshoots on curves. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded logic, keeping a clean, even color on the page.
Well-suited to friendly branding, packaging, and short headlines where a narrow footprint is helpful. It can work for captions, UI labels, and social media graphics when a casual, approachable tone is desired, and it also fits educational or kid-oriented materials thanks to its rounded, simple letterforms.
The font feels lighthearted and personable, balancing neatness with a relaxed, handwritten charm. Its narrow, upright stance reads as tidy and efficient, while the rounded ends and slight wobble keep it warm and informal rather than technical.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, highly legible sans with softened terminals and an informal, hand-drawn personality. It aims to deliver a warm, modern look that stays clean and readable while adding a bit of character to everyday text.
Distinctive shapes include a soft, single-storey feel in many lowercase forms and compact, looped curves in letters like g and y, contributing to a playful texture. The condensed proportions make spacing and word shapes look tight and vertical, so it benefits from comfortable tracking in longer lines.
