A tall, tightly set display face with condensed proportions and heavy, compact strokes. Letterforms are built from simplified, almost monoline shapes with gently rounded corners and occasional tapered terminals, giving the outlines a drawn rather than engineered feel. Curves are narrow and verticalized, counters are small, and the overall rhythm is slightly uneven in a way that reads as intentional and hand-made. The lowercase is compact with a modest x-height and short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders, while the numerals follow the same narrow, upright structure for a consistent texture.
Works best for short, prominent text where its condensed height and handmade character can be appreciated—posters, bold headlines, packaging callouts, signage, and branding marks. It can also add personality to pull quotes or labels, but may feel busy in small sizes or extended paragraphs due to its dense, narrow texture.
The overall tone is quirky and nostalgic, with a poster-like personality that feels informal and approachable. Its narrow, tall silhouettes and subtle irregularities suggest a hand-rendered sign or playful headline treatment rather than a strictly modern, technical voice.
Designed to deliver a bold, space-saving headline voice with a hand-drawn flavor. The goal appears to be strong impact in tight widths while retaining an informal, human presence through softened corners and subtly irregular construction.
In longer lines, the condensed shapes create a dense vertical texture; spacing looks carefully controlled but the organic outlines keep it from feeling rigid. The distinctive, simplified curves (notably in round letters and numerals) help it stand out as a characterful display option.
