A tall, condensed decorative face built from thin, high-contrast outlines with a consistent inline/hollow construction that reads like a double-stroked marker line. Stems are mostly straight and vertical, while bowls and terminals are rounded and slightly irregular, giving the alphabet a loose, hand-rendered rhythm. Curves are narrow and elongated, counters are tight, and many glyphs show small asymmetries and varying stroke overlaps that enhance the sketched look. Numerals follow the same narrow, rounded, outlined treatment with simple, legible silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, short display lines, posters, and packaging where the outlined construction can be appreciated. It also works well for branding accents, book or album titles, and pull quotes that benefit from a quirky, hand-drawn voice.
The overall tone is playful and slightly eccentric, with a casual, doodled energy that feels friendly rather than formal. Its hollowed, outlined strokes add a crafty, handmade flavor that can suggest retro novelty signage or whimsical editorial styling.
The design appears intended as a novelty display font that combines a condensed, upright skeleton with an outlined inline treatment to produce a light, airy texture. The slight irregularities and rounded terminals suggest it was drawn to feel handmade and characterful rather than mechanically perfect.
In longer text the airy interior and thin outlines keep color light, but the busy inline detail can soften clarity at small sizes. The condensed proportions create a strong vertical cadence, and the occasional irregular joins and stroke doubling are part of the intended charm.
