A condensed, right-leaning sans with a calligraphic, hand-drawn logic: strokes taper into sharp terminals and occasionally swell, creating a lively rhythm rather than a purely geometric construction. Counters are small and often teardrop-shaped, with high-waisted curves in letters like B, P, and R, and narrow, vertical bowls in D and O. The uppercase is tall and spiky with steep diagonals (A, V, W, Y) and a distinctive Q tail; the lowercase continues the same narrow, animated forms with a single-storey a and g, a compact e, and a long, hooked f. Numerals are similarly slender and stylized, with a curled 2, a narrow 3, and a figure-8 formed from stacked ovals.
Best suited to display settings where its tall, condensed silhouette can save space while adding character—posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging, and distinctive wordmarks. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or titles, but it’s less ideal for dense body copy where the narrow counters and animated stroke behavior may reduce readability.
The overall tone feels wiry and expressive—quirky, slightly theatrical, and reminiscent of mid-century display lettering. Its compressed posture and sharp, tapering ends add a witty, energetic character that reads more like crafted lettering than neutral text typography.
Likely intended as a characterful condensed display sans that blends sans construction with pen-like tapering to evoke hand-lettered signage and vintage editorial titling. The goal appears to be a memorable, space-efficient voice with a playful, slightly eccentric edge.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and uneven in a display-friendly way, and the italic slant plus tapered terminals can make long passages feel busy at smaller sizes. The design’s personality comes through most strongly in curved joins (S, G, a, g) and in the pointed, wedge-like finishes across the set.
