A tall, condensed display face with flared, wedge-like terminals and an uneven, hand-carved rhythm. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation and sharp tapering at ends, giving many letters a pinched waist and top-heavy stance. Counters are compact and vertical, and the overall silhouette is narrow with occasional width shifts that add irregularity. The lowercase is small relative to the ascenders, producing a compact x-height and a lively, jumpy texture in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where character is the goal: posters, headlines, book covers, packaging, and themed event materials. It can work well for playful branding or novelty labels, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing to let its narrow, flared forms breathe.
The design reads playful and eccentric, with a slightly theatrical, vintage poster energy. Its sharp flares and exaggerated verticality create a mischievous, attention-seeking tone that feels more like signage or titling than neutral reading text.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, offbeat display voice by combining condensed proportions with exaggerated flared terminals and irregular, carved-looking details. The goal seems to be immediate personality and memorability rather than quiet readability.
Round forms like O/C and numerals lean toward elongated ovals, while diagonals and joins often sharpen into pointed interior angles. Spacing and proportions feel intentionally idiosyncratic, contributing to a wobbly, decorative cadence across lines of text.
