A condensed, hand-drawn serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a slightly uneven, inky texture. Strokes often taper to sharp points, with pinched joins and occasional wobble that keeps the rhythm lively rather than mechanical. Serifs and terminals feel brushy and idiosyncratic, mixing crisp wedges with delicate hairlines. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, and the numerals show the same calligraphic modulation and narrow stance.
Best suited for display settings where character matters: headlines, posters, book or album covers, packaging, and branding accents. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and spacing, but it’s most effective when allowed to read as a stylized, expressive voice rather than a neutral text face.
The font reads like an old-fashioned pen-and-ink title hand: theatrical, a little eerie, and playfully eccentric. Its narrow, high-contrast forms evoke vintage posters and storybook headings, with a tone that can shift from whimsical to gothic depending on setting and spacing.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-rendered, period-tinged look with dramatic contrast and narrow proportions, delivering a distinctive “drawn” presence for titles and thematic typography.
In text, the strong contrast and condensed widths create a distinctive vertical color, while the irregularities add personality but also make it feel more display-oriented than purely utilitarian. The punctuation and figures match the same sharp, tapered drawing style, helping the overall voice stay consistent across mixed content.
