A tall, condensed sans with a wiry, monoline build and subtly irregular, hand-drawn contours. Many strokes taper or pinch slightly and curves resolve into gentle angles, giving round forms a lightly faceted, planar feel. Proportions skew vertical with short crossbars and compact bowls; spacing is airy and the rhythm is slightly uneven in a deliberate, informal way. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction, with simple, open shapes and minimal ornament.
Best suited to headlines and short phrases where its tall, condensed stance can save space while staying expressive. It works well for posters, packaging, book covers, and brand marks that want an approachable, handmade voice, and can add character to labels or playful UI callouts when used at larger sizes.
The overall tone is playful and quirky, like a casual marker or pen sketch refined into a consistent typeface. Its narrow, elongated silhouettes and faint angularity add a quirky theatrical flavor without becoming aggressive or harsh.
The design appears intended to combine a slim, space-saving silhouette with an informal, hand-rendered personality. By treating curves with slight planar angles and keeping strokes light and consistent, it aims for a distinctive display texture that feels crafted and animated.
Uppercase letters read cleanly at display sizes, while the lowercase keeps a simple, single-story sensibility that reinforces the handwritten character. The faceted handling of curves and the occasional soft wobble in stroke edges contribute to a crafted, human presence rather than a strictly geometric one.
