A tall, tightly set sans with an angular, slightly irregular construction. Strokes are mostly monolinear with crisp corners and subtly kinked joins, giving the outlines a cut-paper or marker-drawn feel rather than a rigid geometric build. Many terminals end on slanted angles, and bowls/counters stay compact, producing a narrow, vertical rhythm. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph in small ways, creating an intentionally uneven cadence that reads as expressive while remaining legible.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, editorial headlines, branding marks, packaging, and title treatments where a condensed, characterful voice is desirable. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) when the goal is texture and attitude rather than quiet neutrality.
The font conveys a quirky, energetic tone—part retro display, part hand-made signage. Its sharp angles and narrow stance feel assertive and a little mischievous, lending character and motion to short phrases and headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, condensed sans voice with a hand-made edge—combining straightforward, readable letterforms with deliberate angular quirks to create a memorable display texture.
The alphabet shows consistent vertical emphasis and compact counters, with distinctive numeral shapes that match the same angular logic. In text, the tight construction and lively irregularities become a defining texture, especially at larger sizes where the kinked details and slanted terminals are more apparent.
