A condensed, hand-drawn sans with tall proportions and lightly irregular stroke edges. Strokes show a subtle rough/ink-worn texture, with occasional waviness and small variations in thickness that create a natural, printed-by-hand feel. Curves are narrow and upright, counters stay fairly open despite the compact width, and terminals are generally blunt with minimal finishing. Overall rhythm is even and readable, but intentionally imperfect, with small inconsistencies that add character rather than noise.
Best suited for display typography where a handmade, textured voice is desired—posters, product packaging, labels, and book or album covers. It can also work for short subheads and pull quotes when you want a narrow footprint with a casual, imperfect print texture.
The font conveys a friendly, crafty tone—part DIY lettering, part vintage stamp/print. Its narrow, tall stance gives it a slightly theatrical presence, while the distressed texture keeps it informal and approachable.
Likely designed to combine a condensed, space-saving silhouette with the warmth of hand-rendered lettering and a lightly worn ink texture, offering an expressive alternative to clean condensed sans faces.
Spacing appears relatively tight and vertical, which reinforces the condensed look in headlines. The distressed detailing reads as surface wear or dry-brush ink, most noticeable in vertical stems and inside bowls, giving large sizes extra personality.
