A tall, condensed display face with a hand-drawn print structure and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes are weighty with slightly wobbly edges and mild modulation, giving the letters an inked, pressure-made feel rather than geometric precision. Forms are simplified and compact, with narrow counters, occasional flared terminals, and small idiosyncrasies from glyph to glyph that keep the texture informal. The lowercase shows a straightforward, readable construction with modest ascenders/descenders and a slightly springy baseline that adds personality in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, and packaging where its narrow footprint and dark color can carry a strong voice. It also works well for signage and event or entertainment promotions that benefit from an informal, handmade character; for longer passages it’s most effective at larger sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone feels playful and a bit eccentric, like a vintage poster or homemade sign. Its condensed tallness adds urgency and punch, while the irregular outlines keep it friendly and approachable rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic confident hand-lettered print with a condensed, attention-grabbing silhouette. It aims to provide a bold display texture that feels human and slightly imperfect, emphasizing personality over strict uniformity.
Capitals read as assertive, vertical blocks, while the lowercase introduces more softness through small hooks and curved terminals. Numerals follow the same narrow, hand-inked logic, maintaining a consistent color and density across mixed content.
