A tall, tightly set display sans with narrow proportions and a slightly irregular rhythm from glyph to glyph. Strokes stay mostly monolinear, with pointed joins and faceted, chiseled curves that turn bowls and terminals into sharp planes rather than smooth arcs. Counters are small and vertical emphasis is strong, giving the letters a lean silhouette; diagonals and angled spur-like details add a scratchy, cut-paper feel. The overall texture is crisp and dark, with occasional stylistic asymmetries that read as intentional rather than accidental.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where its condensed, faceted shapes can read as a strong stylistic cue. It works well for posters, titles, packaging, and logotypes that benefit from a quirky, angular personality; for longer text, larger sizes and generous spacing will help maintain clarity.
The face communicates a quirky, retro sensibility—part mid‑century display, part handmade signage. Its angular facets and lanky stance create an offbeat, slightly spooky playfulness that feels theatrical and attention-seeking without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a characterful display sans that replaces smooth geometry with sharp, planar facets and slightly handmade irregularity. Its narrow, vertical build suggests an aim to maximize impact in tight horizontal space while delivering a distinctive, theatrical tone.
Capitals and lowercase share a consistent narrow skeleton, but with enough idiosyncratic shaping (notably in curves and diagonals) to keep the line lively. Numerals follow the same tall, faceted construction, helping mixed alphanumeric settings maintain a unified, poster-like voice.
