A condensed, tall sans with monoline strokes and consistently rounded terminals. Curves are softened and slightly irregular, giving the letters an organic, hand-drawn steadiness rather than geometric precision. Counters are compact and apertures stay relatively open for the width, while joins and shoulders keep a smooth, pill-like finish. Spacing reads even in text, with a narrow set and a lively rhythm created by subtle shape variation across glyphs.
Well-suited to headlines and short blocks of text where a compact width is helpful—posters, packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It also works nicely for casual branding, social graphics, and menu-style typography where a friendly tone is desired.
The overall tone is friendly and informal, with a lightly quirky personality that feels welcoming rather than strictly utilitarian. Its narrow, upright stance adds an energetic, modern rhythm, while the rounded endings keep it soft and approachable.
The design appears intended to provide a space-saving, readable sans with a warm, human touch. By combining condensed proportions with rounded terminals and gentle irregularity, it aims to feel contemporary and approachable while maintaining straightforward legibility.
Uppercase forms are simple and vertical, while lowercase shapes introduce more character through rounded bowls and softly kinked strokes. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded logic and appear clear at display sizes, with a casual, signage-like flavor.
