A tall, condensed monoline sans with rounded terminals and gently tapered joins that evoke an ink-pen or casual hand-rendered construction. The proportions are strongly vertical, with long ascenders and descenders and compact counters that keep the rhythm narrow and airy. Curves are soft and elliptical (notably in C/O/S), while straight strokes stay slender and even, giving the overall texture a delicate, wiry presence. Capitals are simple and open, and numerals follow the same slim, rounded logic with minimal contrast and a lightly quirky silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, whimsical rhythm can be a feature—headlines, posters, packaging, book covers, and short pull quotes. It can work for brief text in larger sizes where the airy spacing and condensed build remain comfortable to read, but it’s most effective when used to add personality rather than for dense body copy.
The tone is lighthearted and personable, with an offbeat, storybook-like charm. Its narrow, towering forms feel a bit theatrical and retro, suggesting friendly informality rather than strict modernist neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a friendly, handcrafted flavor within a clean sans framework, using condensed proportions, rounded terminals, and subtly quirky shapes to stand out in display typography while staying simple and legible.
Spacing reads slightly loose for the narrow letterforms, which increases airiness in text but also emphasizes the font’s spindly verticals. The lowercase has a notably compact core with prominent extenders, and punctuation appears small and unobtrusive, supporting a gentle, understated texture in running lines.
