A condensed, tall sans with noticeable stroke modulation and wedge-like terminals that read as slightly flared or cut at an angle. Curves are smooth but not perfectly geometric, and many joins and endings feel subtly sharpened, giving the letterforms a lively, hand-cut rhythm. Counters are generally open, ascenders are prominent, and the overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, creating an irregular, animated texture in words. Numerals follow the same narrow, tapered construction, maintaining a consistent vertical emphasis.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a condensed silhouette and distinctive stroke endings can carry personality at medium to large sizes. It can work for short editorial callouts or signage when a quirky, retro-leaning voice is desired, but its irregular word texture is most effective when not set in long, continuous text.
The font conveys a playful, slightly offbeat tone—more whimsical than neutral—while still staying clean and readable. Its narrow proportions and quirky terminal shapes suggest a retro display sensibility, lending personality without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended to offer a condensed sans alternative with added character through stroke modulation and wedge-cut terminals, balancing legibility with a stylized, display-forward presence.
Uppercase forms show strong vertical stress and tight, poster-like proportions, while lowercase retains the same condensed stance with distinctive, tapered strokes. The mixed rhythm from variable character widths adds charm in headlines but can create a deliberately uneven color in longer passages.
