A tall, tightly set display face with elongated verticals, pinched waists, and sharp wedge-like terminals that create a taut, brittle silhouette. Strokes are slender with localized swelling and sudden tapering, producing a rhythmic “hourglass” modulation through stems and bowls rather than a smooth serif structure. Curves are narrow and slightly irregular, with counters kept small and often vertically emphasized, giving letters a stretched, ornamental profile. Numerals echo the same squeezed geometry and pointed terminals, reading more like stylized figures than text numerals.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its pinched stems and pointed terminals can be appreciated—posters, title cards, branding marks, and packaging accents. It works particularly well when you want a quirky, curated look rather than neutral readability, and benefits from generous size and careful tracking.
The overall tone feels oddball and performative—part vintage poster, part experimental lettering—where elegance is intentionally skewed into something uncanny. Its thin, spiky detailing and compressed proportions add a hint of mischief and drama, turning even simple words into visual curiosities.
The design appears intended as an expressive display font that foregrounds a distinctive stem modulation and narrow, elongated proportions. Rather than aiming for conventional text comfort, it prioritizes a memorable, stylized silhouette that feels hand-shaped and deliberately unconventional.
Spacing appears relatively tight for the amount of internal detailing, so the texture can become busy quickly in continuous text. The most distinctive cue is the repeated mid-stem pinch or bulge that acts like a signature motif across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating strong stylistic cohesion despite the irregular construction.
