A tall, slender sans with pronounced stroke modulation: thick verticals and hairline-like curves create a crisp, animated rhythm. The forms are largely upright and clean, with rounded terminals and generous white space that keeps counters open despite the contrast. Proportions vary per glyph, giving the alphabet a slightly irregular, hand-rendered cadence while staying consistently narrow overall. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing sturdy stems with delicate arcs for a light-on-its-feet texture.
Best suited to display typography—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and editorial titles—where its high-contrast strokes and narrow footprint can create distinctive, space-efficient statements. It can also work for short pull quotes or menu-style typography when set with comfortable size and line spacing.
The tone reads playful and stylish, balancing a boutique, mid-century feel with a casual hand-lettered friendliness. The sharp contrast adds a touch of sophistication, while the slightly quirky proportions keep it approachable and characterful.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, high-contrast sans voice that feels both handcrafted and refined, offering a fashionable display option with a lively, slightly quirky rhythm.
Spacing and silhouette emphasis favor vertical strokes, so the font creates a strong striped texture in longer lines. Curved letters (like C, S, and O) show especially fine strokes at the thinnest points, which contributes to an elegant, airy look in display sizes.
