A tall, narrow display face with monoline strokes and a deliberately irregular, hand-drawn rhythm. The uppercase leans toward long verticals and sharp, tapering terminals, with occasional swooping cross-strokes and asymmetrical joins that make the outlines feel lively rather than geometric. Lowercase and numerals shift into a heavier, more compact construction where many counters appear reduced or closed, producing solid, stamp-like silhouettes and strong spot shapes. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an eclectic texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where its irregular detailing and alternating airy/solid shapes can be appreciated. It can add personality to posters, branding marks, packaging, or book and chapter titles, especially where a handmade or eccentric voice is desired.
The overall tone is quirky and theatrical, mixing airy, spindly capitals with chunky, inky small forms for a playful sense of contrast. It reads as eccentric and handmade, with a slightly spooky or storybook flavor that suits expressive, character-driven typography.
The design appears aimed at producing a distinctive, novelty-driven texture by combining narrow, elongated capitals with dense, simplified lowercase and numerals. Its irregular drawing and closed interior shapes prioritize character and impact over uniformity, encouraging expressive use in display typography.
The dot forms (in i/j and punctuation in the sample) stand out as bold, circular marks, and several letters show decorative flicks or hook-like terminals that become visual signatures at larger sizes. The mixed construction between cases can be used intentionally for emphasis, creating a varied cadence within a line.
