A tall, condensed display face built from irregular outlined strokes with hollow interiors. The contours look hand-rendered, with wobbly edges, uneven corners, and occasional kinks that create a lively, imperfect rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and slightly angular, and bowls and counters are narrow, producing a compact, vertical color. The inner cutouts follow the outer shapes loosely, reinforcing the hollow, double-line construction rather than a mechanical inline.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are an asset: posters, headlines, cover design, packaging accents, and short bursts of copy. It can work for stylized signage or branding where an intentionally handmade, offbeat voice is desired, but it is less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes due to its busy interior detailing.
The overall tone is quirky and DIY, with a scribbled, slightly eccentric energy that feels informal and characterful. Its narrow, wiry presence reads a bit spooky-carnival or zine-like, making it feel mischievous rather than polished or corporate.
The design intent appears to be an expressive, hand-sketched outlined alphabet that delivers strong personality through narrow proportions and irregular hollow strokes. It prioritizes visual character and a distinctive texture over typographic neutrality and smooth repetition.
In running text the irregular outlines create a shimmering texture, especially at smaller sizes where the interior gaps and uneven stroke spacing become more prominent. The numerals share the same hand-drawn, hollow construction and maintain the font’s tall, compact stance.
