A tall, condensed hand-drawn print style with uneven stroke edges and a dry-brush texture. Strokes show strong thick–thin behavior and occasional tapering, with subtle wobble and irregularities that keep the rhythm lively rather than mechanical. Counters are generally compact, terminals are blunt or slightly frayed, and spacing feels organically inconsistent, contributing to an energetic, sketched look. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, vertical proportions, creating a tight, poster-like color on the line.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and short bursts of copy where its handcrafted texture can be appreciated. It works well for DIY branding, event promos, café or craft-market signage, and playful editorial callouts, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font reads as informal and mischievous, with a handcrafted, slightly gritty charm. Its narrow, tall silhouettes and textured strokes give it a zine-like, indie feel that can swing from playful to mildly spooky depending on context.
The design appears intended to mimic quick marker or brush lettering with a dry, textured edge while keeping letterforms readable and upright. Its condensed, tall proportions suggest a goal of fitting impactful text into narrow spaces without losing a hand-made personality.
In longer text, the condensed proportions create dense lines; the texture and irregular stroke edges add character but also increase visual noise at small sizes. The most confident results come when the font is allowed to breathe with a bit of extra tracking and generous leading.
