A condensed, right-leaning sans with brush-like strokes and subtly irregular edges that create a dry-ink, slightly distressed texture. Stems are tall and slim, with rounded terminals and occasional tapering that gives the linework a hand-rendered rhythm. Curves feel compact and squarish-rounded, while counters stay tight, reinforcing the compressed, vertical silhouette. Overall spacing is modest and the uneven stroke boundaries introduce lively variation without breaking legibility.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy such as posters, headlines, packaging labels, album artwork, and bold brand moments where texture and character are desirable. It can work for pull quotes or subheads, but the condensed proportions and distressed edges are more effective at larger sizes than for long-form reading.
The font reads as handmade and vintage-leaning, with a scrappy, poster-like confidence. Its narrow, slanted forms and inky texture add urgency and attitude, suggesting something gritty, playful, and a little unconventional rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, attention-grabbing sans with a hand-inked texture—combining compact geometry with organic imperfections to create a distinctive, energetic voice for display typography.
Uppercase forms are upright in construction but animated by the slant and texture, while the lowercase keeps the same narrow proportions and compact bowls. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed model, making them visually consistent in display settings. The overall color on the page is fairly dark due to the tight widths and textured edges, which can make lines feel dense at smaller sizes.
