A condensed, hand-drawn Latin with tall proportions and a noticeably narrow overall footprint. Strokes show strong modulation, with thin hairlines and heavier downstrokes that often end in tapered, slightly pointed terminals. Edges appear subtly rough and inky, creating a dry-brush texture that varies from glyph to glyph and reinforces its handmade rhythm. Counters are generally small and upright, and letter widths fluctuate, giving words a lively, uneven cadence while maintaining consistent vertical alignment.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture and gesture are an asset: posters, packaging labels, book covers, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for punchy headlines and pull quotes, especially when you want a handmade look with a condensed silhouette.
The texture and sharp, inked endings give the face a crafty, slightly weathered personality—casual and expressive rather than polished. It reads like quick marker or brush lettering: friendly and informal, with a quirky, artisanal edge that feels suited to themed or storytelling contexts.
The design appears intended to capture quick brush/marker lettering with visible ink texture and high stroke contrast, delivering a compact, energetic voice for themed display typography. Its narrow build and lively irregularities prioritize character and atmosphere over long-form readability.
Capitals are tall and linear with simplified structures, while lowercase forms stay compact, helping the font keep a tight, vertical color on the page. Numerals follow the same narrow, hand-rendered logic and pick up the same dry-ink irregularities, supporting cohesive display use.
