A condensed slab-serif with a monoline feel and crisp, unbracketed square serifs. Strokes are generally even, but many terminals flare into small, wedge-like points, giving the outlines a slightly thorny, inked-by-hand character. Proportions are tall and narrow with tight counters, and the overall rhythm is lively rather than strictly geometric. The lowercase includes distinctive forms such as a single-storey “a” and a curled “g,” while numerals are slim and slightly stylized, matching the typeface’s narrow footprint.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and packaging where a distinctive narrow slab-serif texture is desirable. It can work for book covers and editorial callouts that benefit from a quirky, vintage-leaning tone, and it holds up well in mixed-case settings where its characterful lowercase can carry the voice.
The font reads playful and idiosyncratic, mixing a vintage print sensibility with a lightly whimsical, storybook tone. Its sharp little serifs and pointed terminals add personality without turning into overt display ornament, creating an approachable but characterful voice.
Likely designed to provide a condensed slab-serif option that feels handcrafted and expressive, using sharp unbracketed serifs and pointed terminals to inject personality while keeping the stroke weight even and readable.
Caps and lowercase share consistent narrow proportions, but the outlines show deliberate eccentricities—especially in curved letters and joins—so the texture feels more organic than strictly engineered. The overall color stays even across text, though the spurred terminals make word shapes look more animated.
