A condensed sans with chunky strokes and deliberately uneven geometry. Curves and verticals show subtle wobble and tapering, creating a hand-cut, slightly distorted silhouette rather than strict mechanical consistency. Counters are generally compact, terminals are mostly blunt with occasional angled cuts, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a lively rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to display contexts where personality is more important than neutrality—posters, punchy headlines, packaging, event graphics, and playful branding. It can work for short bursts of text or taglines, while extended reading benefits from generous tracking and leading to calm its lively texture.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a comic, homemade energy. Its irregularities read as intentional character rather than roughness, lending an informal, animated voice that feels friendly and a bit eccentric.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing sans with a deliberately imperfect, hand-rendered cadence. The narrow build and bold presence aim to maximize impact in limited space while keeping a humorous, characterful voice.
In the sample text, the tight proportions and strong black shapes give high presence, while the uneven spacing and shifting widths create a jumpy texture that is most noticeable in longer passages. Numerals follow the same condensed, slightly skewed logic, matching the alphabet’s upbeat, off-kilter feel.
