A tall, condensed sans with a lively, hand-drawn regularity and pronounced stroke modulation. Many letters are built from narrow vertical stems paired with compact bowls and open apertures, giving the set a tight rhythm and strong vertical emphasis. Curves are smooth and slightly elliptical, with softened terminals and occasional asymmetries that keep the texture organic rather than mechanical. Numerals follow the same condensed logic, with simple, legible forms and generous interior counters for the width.
Best suited to display settings where a tall, condensed voice is useful: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging panels, and signage. It can also work for short bursts of text—taglines, pull quotes, and labels—where its distinctive rhythm adds character without requiring large widths.
The overall tone feels vintage and personable, like mid-century signage or editorial display typography with a casual, slightly whimsical edge. Its narrow stance and springy curves create an energetic, friendly voice that reads as informal and approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed display sans that feels human and retro-leaning, combining clean, simplified construction with subtle irregularities for warmth. It aims for strong vertical presence and quick visual recognition in titles and branded phrases.
The typeface shows noticeable per-glyph width variation within a consistently narrow system, which adds a handwritten rhythm in words and helps avoid monotony in long vertical strokes. Round letters maintain clear counters and open shapes, supporting readability despite the compressed proportions.
