A condensed sans with a tall, slim skeleton and consistent stroke weight throughout. Curves are softly rounded and slightly irregular, giving the outlines a human, drawn feel rather than a rigid geometric finish. Counters are relatively open for the width, and terminals are clean and blunt, helping the shapes stay readable despite the narrow proportions. Overall spacing feels even and vertical, with a gentle, rhythmic bounce created by small variations in curvature and join behavior.
Works well for headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a condensed footprint is useful. Its playful neutrality makes it a good fit for packaging, labels, posters, and editorial callouts that benefit from a personable tone. It can also serve UI or signage in situations where space is tight and a softer, more human sans is preferred.
The overall tone is approachable and lightly whimsical, with a casual, everyday personality. Its narrow, tall forms and subtle unevenness suggest an informal, indie sensibility that feels friendly rather than clinical. It reads as modern-but-relaxed, suited to designs that want warmth and character without becoming overtly decorative.
Designed to provide a space-saving condensed sans with a friendly, hand-touched character. The consistent strokes and simplified details prioritize clarity, while the slight irregularity and rounded shaping add personality for branding and display use.
The digit set matches the alphabet’s tall proportions, with simple, uncluttered forms. Uppercase and lowercase maintain a consistent narrow voice, and the font’s slightly imperfect curves add texture at display sizes while still holding together in short text settings.
