A tall, condensed hand-drawn print with a lively, slightly jittery stroke. Forms are narrow and upright with irregular, ink-like edges and occasional wedgey terminals that give a sketchbook feel. Contrast is pronounced, with thin hairlines set against heavier downstrokes and filled-in joins, creating a scratchy texture in both caps and lowercase. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing an animated rhythm; counters are generally open and simplified, and numerals follow the same lanky, hand-rendered construction.
Best suited to short display settings where its tall, animated forms can carry personality—headlines, posters, packaging labels, book covers, and pull quotes. It can also work for playful subheads or UI accents, but the textured strokes and condensed proportions are most effective when given enough size and breathing room.
The overall tone is informal and spirited, like quick marker or pen lettering used for playful emphasis. Its uneven texture and tall proportions suggest an expressive, human voice—quirky rather than polished, with a slightly vintage poster or zine sensibility.
Designed to mimic quick, expressive hand lettering in a condensed format, prioritizing personality and punch over mechanical uniformity. The intention appears to be a distinctive, characterful display face that adds a handmade, slightly rough energy to modern layouts.
Capitals read as slim display letters with distinctive silhouettes, while the lowercase keeps a friendly, handwritten bounce that helps text feel conversational. The texture becomes more noticeable at larger sizes, where the rough edges and contrast read as intentional character.
