A condensed, forward-leaning sans with tall proportions and a brisk rhythm. Strokes show subtle modulation and visible texture, like a quick marker or dry brush, with slightly irregular edges that keep repeats from feeling mechanical. Curves are compact and rounded, counters are narrow, and joins are simplified, producing a clean silhouette even when the stroke surface looks rough. Spacing is tight and the overall color stays even, helping the font read as a cohesive, narrow text hand.
Works well for display-led communication where a compact width and lively, handwritten texture add personality—posters, pull quotes, short headlines, packaging callouts, and social media graphics. It can also suit brief editorial subheads or captions when a casual, human voice is desired and sizes are kept comfortable for the texture to remain clear.
The tone is informal and energetic, combining a handwritten feel with a structured, condensed stance. The slight roughness adds warmth and immediacy, suggesting spontaneity rather than polish. It reads modern and casual, with a hint of offbeat character that keeps it from feeling generic.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, energetic handwriting look that stays organized and legible in short-to-medium text. Its controlled proportions and consistent rhythm suggest it was drawn to provide a practical, personality-forward alternative to neutral condensed sans italics.
Uppercase forms are tall and lean with minimal ornament, while lowercase maintains a consistent, narrow footprint and simple, single-storey constructions. Numerals follow the same condensed, handwritten logic, with open shapes and brisk curves that match the letterforms.
