A tall, condensed display face with a hand-drawn print feel and lively irregularity. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtle contrast created by tapered joins and pointed, chiseled-looking terminals. Curves are simplified into narrow bowls and arches, while many verticals end in small wedge cuts or hooked flicks that add rhythm. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the alphabet a bouncy, slightly uneven texture while keeping a consistent upright stance.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where its narrow build and animated terminals can read clearly and add personality. It works well for posters, book or album covers, packaging, event promos, and logo wordmarks that want a handmade, retro-quirky voice.
The overall tone is playful and slightly eccentric, with a retro poster energy and a crafty, made-by-hand character. The pointed terminals and narrow proportions add a bit of theatrical sharpness without feeling aggressive, making the font feel spirited and animated.
The design appears intended to capture the spontaneity of informal lettering while maintaining a clean, repeatable structure for typesetting. Its condensed silhouette and carved terminals suggest a display-oriented aim: to create high-impact text with a distinctive, whimsical rhythm.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and lean, with compact counters (notably in B, D, O, and Q) that emphasize verticality. Lowercase includes distinctive, idiosyncratic shapes—such as a narrow, two-arch “m,” a looped “g,” and a long-tailed “q”—that reinforce the informal, drawn quality. Numerals follow the same chiseled terminal logic, with narrow forms and occasional angled cuts that keep texture consistent across text.
