A compact, narrow sans with rounded, superellipse-like bowls and a visibly hand-rendered edge. Strokes are heavy with mild modulation and softly tapered terminals, producing a brushy, slightly rough silhouette rather than crisp vector geometry. Counters stay relatively open for the width, while curves (notably in O/C/G and lower-case bowls) lean toward rounded-rectangle forms. Spacing and widths feel intentionally uneven, with subtle wobble in verticals and small asymmetries that create an organic rhythm in text.
Works best for short to medium display copy such as posters, packaging fronts, menu headings, social media graphics, and branding marks that benefit from a handcrafted feel. It can also serve in brief pull quotes or section headers where a dense, narrow voice helps fit text into tight spaces without losing impact.
The overall tone is informal and lively, with a handmade energy that reads approachable rather than polished. Its narrow, chunky forms give it a punchy presence, while the textured edges and rounded shapes keep it warm and playful. It suggests craft, indie branding, and conversational display typography.
The design appears intended to combine a narrow, space-saving footprint with a bold, hand-painted personality. Rounded, superellipse-inspired forms and textured stroke edges aim to communicate human warmth and spontaneity while keeping the letterforms sturdy and legible in display settings.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent narrow proportion and rounded construction, and the figures follow the same chunky, hand-inked logic. The font maintains strong color in paragraphs, but the intentional irregularity and texture become more noticeable at smaller sizes or in long runs of text.
