A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and a deliberately uneven, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are mostly straight with slightly wavering edges and frequent wedge-like terminals, giving letters a carved or marker-cut silhouette rather than a mechanically perfect outline. Counters are compact and often rectangular, with occasional asymmetries and idiosyncratic joins that create a lively, inconsistent rhythm across the alphabet. The overall texture is dense and vertical, with tight internal space and a narrow footprint that keeps words compact while emphasizing the upright stems.
Best suited to display settings where personality matters more than long-form comfort—posters, headlines, title treatments, logos, packaging, and themed graphics. It can work for short bursts of text in captions or pull quotes, especially when a compact, edgy texture is desirable.
The font reads as playful and eccentric, with a retro, DIY character reminiscent of cut-paper signage, zines, or stylized display lettering. Its intentional irregularities add personality and energy, making it feel informal and slightly mischievous rather than neutral or corporate.
Likely designed to offer a distinctive condensed display voice with handcrafted imperfections, balancing simple sans construction with quirky, angular details. The goal appears to be strong visual identity in short text, evoking handmade signage and stylized retro typography.
Spacing and letter widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a bouncy word shape in text. Numerals and lowercase share the same angular, compact construction, and the punctuation-like forms in the sample text reinforce a hand-drawn, bespoke look.
