A monoline, decorative roman with extremely tall ascenders and descenders and a tightly spaced, narrow overall footprint. Strokes are consistently thin and mostly uniform, with frequent pointed, wedge-like joints and occasional bulb/loop terminals that create a slightly improvised rhythm. Counters tend to be small and rounded, while verticals dominate the texture; several letters use long, straight stems that extend well beyond the cap and x-height zones, giving the design a stretched, wiry silhouette. Figures echo the same thin-line construction with open, rounded shapes and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display settings where personality is the priority—posters, title treatments, packaging, and short editorial headlines. It can also work for playful signage or branding accents, especially where the tall vertical rhythm can act as a visual hook. For longer text, larger sizes and extra line spacing help preserve clarity.
The typeface reads as quirky and offbeat, with a playful, slightly surreal character that feels intentionally odd rather than strictly formal. Its tall, spindly proportions and idiosyncratic terminals lend it a storybook or “curio cabinet” tone—lighthearted, theatrical, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended as a characterful novelty display face built around exaggerated vertical proportions and eccentric terminal details. Rather than aiming for neutrality, it emphasizes unique silhouettes and a lightly irregular cadence to create a memorable, decorative voice.
Legibility is driven more by distinctive silhouettes than by conventional proportions, so it tends to look best when given generous leading and moderate tracking. The repeated use of exaggerated vertical extensions becomes a strong graphic motif in text, creating a lively, uneven skyline and baseline that can be used as a deliberate stylistic feature.
