A tall, tightly set sans with condensed proportions and slightly uneven, inked stroke edges. Curves are drawn with rounded-rectangle logic—soft corners and gently squared bowls—while verticals stay straight and narrow, creating a wiry rhythm. Stroke weight is generally even but shows subtle wobble and small width fluctuations that read as hand-rendered texture rather than strict geometry. Apertures are modest and counters are compact, with an overall crisp silhouette that stays legible despite the organic irregularities.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and titling where a condensed footprint is useful and the handmade texture can add character. It works well for posters, packaging, and branding that want a slightly offbeat, crafted feel while remaining readable.
The tone is casual and a bit eccentric, like a hand-drawn display face cleaned up for typesetting. Its narrow, upright stance feels energetic and slightly mischievous, with a dry, editorial edge rather than a polished corporate voice.
The design appears intended to blend a clean sans foundation with controlled imperfection—keeping consistent, condensed construction while introducing subtle irregularity to suggest analog ink or marker drawing. The result prioritizes personality and compactness over strict uniformity.
In running text the condensed spacing and tall capitals create a strong vertical cadence; the textured edges become more noticeable at larger sizes and add a print-like grit. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction and maintain the same lightly distressed consistency as the letters.
