A condensed, upright text face with noticeable stroke modulation and irregular, wedge-like terminals. Strokes swell and taper in a calligraphic way, producing pointed joins and slightly pinched curves, especially in bowls and shoulders. Uppercase forms are tall and compact, while lowercase shows lively asymmetry with narrow counters and occasional sharp spur-like details. Numerals follow the same compressed proportions and tapered stroke behavior, giving the set a cohesive, slightly “cut-paper” silhouette.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and book covers where its tapered strokes and compact width can add personality. It can work for branding or label-style typography when a quirky, vintage-leaning voice is desired, while longer body copy may benefit from larger sizes and generous leading.
The overall tone is playful and a bit eccentric—more fairytale and vintage poster than neutral modern text. Its crisp tapers and pointed joins add energy and a lightly mischievous character, suggesting handcrafted lettering rather than mechanical construction.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, attention-getting voice with handcrafted flair, combining calligraphic contrast with playful, angular terminals to stand out in titles and promotional typography.
Spacing appears fairly tight and the condensed widths create a strong vertical rhythm in words and lines. The varying wedge terminals and spiky stress points increase texture at display sizes and can make long passages feel busy, but they also provide distinctive word shapes for headings.
