A condensed, right-slanted display serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a distinctly drawn, poster-like rhythm. The forms lean on tall vertical stems, tight counters, and abrupt, wedge-like terminals that read as lightly calligraphic rather than purely geometric. Many letters show subtle curvature and asymmetric joins, giving the alphabet an intentionally idiosyncratic texture while maintaining consistent overall proportions and spacing. Numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast construction, with simplified shapes and emphatic verticality.
Best suited for short-form display settings such as posters, event titles, storefront marks, packaging callouts, and editorial feature heads where a distinctive voice is desirable. It can also work for logo wordmarks and album/film titles, especially when you want a condensed, dramatic look with character.
The tone feels mischievous and vintage-leaning, like a stylized headline voice meant to be noticed rather than to disappear into body copy. Its sharp contrast and compressed silhouettes add a slightly dramatic, cabaret/noir energy, while the irregularities keep it playful and offbeat.
The design appears intended as an expressive, condensed display face that blends high-contrast serif structure with intentionally quirky, one-off detailing. It aims to deliver strong visual impact and a memorable texture in titles and branding, prioritizing personality over neutrality.
In the sample text, the tight width and strong contrast create a dense, graphic color that works best with generous tracking or larger sizes. Curved letters and diagonals show a hand-drawn flair, and some glyphs lean into unconventional detailing that heightens the novelty feel.
