A condensed, hand-drawn print style with tall proportions and slightly uneven letter widths. Strokes show subtle modulation and occasional tapering, with pointed terminals and small flicks that create a lively, slightly scratchy rhythm. Curves are narrow and upright, counters are tight, and the overall spacing feels compact, reinforcing a vertical, columnar texture in text. Uppercase forms are simple and elongated, while lowercase adds more idiosyncratic shapes and occasional calligraphic-like hooks.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, covers, packaging, and promotional graphics where a playful handmade tone is desired. It can work for short to medium-length copy in larger sizes (e.g., quotes, captions, signage), but its condensed forms and tight counters make it most effective when given generous size and spacing.
The face reads friendly and mischievous, with a casual, handmade energy that suggests doodles, headlines, and lighthearted messaging. Its narrow, spiky silhouette gives it a bit of eccentric character—more quirky than elegant—while staying clear enough for short phrases and display use.
The design appears intended to deliver an informal, hand-rendered voice in a space-saving, vertical silhouette, balancing legibility with quirky, illustrative personality. Its pointed terminals and slightly irregular construction aim to feel human and animated rather than mechanically uniform.
Numerals follow the same tall, compact construction, with curved figures and pointed ends that keep the set cohesive. The mix of straight stems and narrow bowls creates a distinctive vertical cadence that can look energetic in blocks of text, especially at larger sizes.
