A condensed, hand-drawn display face with brush-like strokes and clear tapering at terminals. Letterforms are built from narrow verticals and pointed joins, with occasional flared ends that create a carved or cut-paper silhouette. Counters are compact, curves are slightly irregular, and proportions shift subtly from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, human rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and assertive, while lowercase stays compact with simple, single-storey constructions and minimal connective structure.
Best used at display sizes for headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where its narrow footprint and energetic texture can shine. It also suits packaging, book covers, and logo wordmarks that want a handmade, retro-flavored voice without connected script forms.
The overall tone feels whimsical and slightly gothic-leaning in its sharp wedges and tall, narrow stance, while still reading as friendly and informal. It suggests a theatrical, vintage personality—expressive rather than refined—suited to attention-grabbing phrases and characterful naming.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering made with a brush or marker, combining tall condensed proportions with sharp, tapered terminals to create an eye-catching, decorative presence.
The font maintains consistent vertical emphasis across letters, with frequent pointed terminals and angled stroke endings that add texture in text. Numerals follow the same narrow, tapered logic and stand out well in headings, though the irregularities read as intentional display character rather than text neutrality.
