A tall, condensed sans with softly rounded corners and a slightly irregular, hand-drawn finish. Strokes are mostly monolinear with gentle modulation and rounded terminals, giving counters a superellipse-like feel. Proportions are narrow and vertical, with small bowls and compact apertures that keep the rhythm tight. The uppercase is especially slim and columnar, while lowercase forms stay simple and restrained, producing an overall clean silhouette with a subtly organic edge.
Best suited to headlines and short to medium display settings where its condensed verticality can save space while remaining expressive. It works well for branding, packaging, signage, and editorial titles that benefit from a retro-leaning, humanized sans. In longer passages, careful sizing and generous leading will help maintain clarity due to the compact apertures and narrow set.
The face reads as retro and approachable, blending mid-century sign-painting charm with a modern, minimal outline. Its narrow, upright stance feels efficient and orderly, while the softened corners and slight irregularities add warmth and personality. The result is quirky without becoming chaotic—more friendly display than neutral text workhorse.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving condensed voice with a softened, characterful tone—combining simple sans construction with rounded, superellipse-like geometry and a lightly hand-rendered texture for personality.
Distinctive touches include the slender, elongated capitals and a generally closed, compact construction in letters like B, P, and R. The numerals follow the same condensed, rounded logic, keeping a consistent vertical color across mixed text and figures.
