A condensed, right-slanted sans with wiry strokes and minimal contrast, built from tapered stems and sharp, chiseled terminals. The letterforms lean on narrow internal spaces and tall proportions, with irregular stroke endings that feel cut rather than drawn. Curves (C, O, S) stay tight and upright-elliptical, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) are crisp and slightly kinked, adding a lively rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, compact structure with a single-storey a and simple bowls, and the numerals follow the same narrow, slanted silhouette with pointed joins and tight counters.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings such as posters, headlines, packaging, and characterful branding where a quirky condensed voice is desirable. It can work in pull quotes or subheads, but the busy terminals and narrow counters may feel dense in long passages at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is jaunty and offbeat, balancing legibility with a mischievous, stylized energy. Its slant and tapered terminals give it a breezy forward motion, while the slightly irregular cuts add character that reads as vintage and handmade rather than neutral or corporate.
The design appears intended to provide a compact, attention-grabbing italicized sans with a deliberately handmade, retro sign-painting or woodtype-like edge. It prioritizes personality and momentum over strict geometric regularity, aiming to inject movement and charm into display typography.
Spacing and shape widths vary noticeably across glyphs, creating an uneven, animated texture in text lines. The distinctive pointed terminals and occasional spur-like corners become more prominent at display sizes, where the font’s cut-paper/woodtype flavor is most apparent.
