A tall, condensed sans with a monoline stroke and softly rounded terminals. Curves are drawn as narrow ovals, giving letters like O, C, and S a slim, elongated silhouette, while straight-sided forms (E, F, T, L) stay clean and minimal. Spacing is modest and consistent, with generally open counters and simple, unembellished construction; the numeral set follows the same narrow, upright rhythm with single-stroke forms and gentle rounding.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where its tall, airy rhythm can become a visual feature. It can also work well for playful packaging, greeting cards, and youth-oriented or informal branding, especially when paired with generous leading and simple companion type.
The overall tone feels lighthearted and approachable, with a slightly handmade, whimsical character that comes from the stretched proportions and soft endings. It reads as casual and upbeat rather than formal or technical, lending a friendly voice to short messages and display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean sans structure with a charming, informal twist through elongated proportions and soft terminals. Its restrained detailing and consistent monoline drawing suggest a focus on easygoing display readability and a distinctive, light presence on the page.
The alphabet maintains a consistent vertical emphasis across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a distinctive tall cadence in lines of text. Round characters remain noticeably narrower than typical sans forms, and punctuation appears minimal and clean, reinforcing the font’s quiet, uncluttered look.
