A condensed display sans with tall, columnar proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even in weight, while many terminals finish with small hooked spurs, notches, and wedge-like cuts that give the letters a carved, tool-made look. Curves are tight and upright, counters are compact, and many joins feel slightly pinched, creating an almost ink-trap or chiseled effect in the interior shapes. Uppercase forms are narrow and assertive, while the lowercase keeps a similarly tall stance with short extenders and a compact, vertical texture; numerals follow the same narrow, high-contrast-in-silhouette approach with distinctive angled cuts.
Best suited to display sizes where the distinctive spurs and cut-in details can be appreciated—posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, titles, and brand marks. It can add personality to packaging and editorial pull quotes, but will perform most convincingly in short bursts rather than dense body copy.
The overall tone is playful and characterful, with a retro show-card energy that reads more expressive than neutral. Its spurred terminals and notched detailing lend a mildly gothic or storybook flavor without becoming fully blackletter, making it feel theatrical, offbeat, and handmade.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a compact, space-saving silhouette while injecting personality through consistent, decorative terminal cuts. It reads as a stylized sans built for attention and memorability, echoing vintage display lettering and hand-cut signage traditions.
The design relies on repeated terminal motifs (hooks, wedges, and cut-ins) to build cohesion across caps, lowercase, and figures. Spacing appears fairly tight, emphasizing a tall, poster-like texture that favors impact over long-form comfort.
