A condensed, hand-drawn print style with tall proportions and slightly irregular stroke edges that read like ink or marker on paper. Stems are generally straight and upright, with occasional wobble and organic tapering; counters are tight and shapes are simplified for punchy silhouettes. The texture shows subtle roughness and uneven fill, giving letters a worn, printed-from-handmade look. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, creating a lively rhythm while maintaining consistent overall height and strong vertical emphasis.
This font is well suited to short-to-medium display text where a handmade, condensed look helps maximize impact in limited space—such as posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and cover typography. It can also work for pull quotes or section titles when paired with a cleaner text face for body copy.
The font conveys a casual, handcrafted tone—energetic and a bit mischievous—mixing a retro poster feel with lightly distressed, DIY character. Its narrow, tall shapes feel assertive and attention-getting, while the imperfect texture keeps it informal and approachable.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered signage in a narrow, space-efficient footprint, combining strong vertical presence with subtle distress for warmth and personality.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and condensed, while lowercase remains compact with clear, simple joins and minimal ornamentation. Numerals follow the same narrow, inked logic, with distinctive, slightly uneven curves that match the handmade texture.
