A tall, tightly condensed sans with lively, slightly irregular contours and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes are mostly straight and narrow with occasional sharp tapers and wedge-like terminals that create a spiky silhouette, especially in diagonals and joins. Curves are compact and pinched, counters are small, and proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the text an elastic rhythm rather than a strictly uniform system. Numerals follow the same slim, angular construction with narrow bowls and pointed details.
Best suited to display roles where its compressed width and quirky detailing can be appreciated—posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and short promotional copy. It can also work for themed titles or pull quotes where a distinctive, slightly retro voice is desired, while longer passages will benefit from generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is eccentric and theatrical, reading as playful yet slightly edgy. Its narrow, high-tension forms suggest vintage display lettering—something that feels show-poster bold in personality even without heavy weight.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive condensed display voice: narrow for space efficiency, but animated through tapered terminals, pinched curves, and intentionally uneven rhythm to avoid neutrality.
In text lines, the condensed width and small internal spaces create a dark, rhythmic stripe with frequent pointed accents; this can heighten character in headlines but may reduce comfort at small sizes. The mix of rounded and sharply notched features contributes to a hand-cut, expressive feel rather than a purely geometric or neutral look.
