A tall, condensed hand-drawn print face with pronounced stroke contrast and an irregular, inked rhythm. Stems often swell into teardrop-like terminals while opposing strokes taper to hairline flicks, giving letters a brush-and-pen feel. Curves are narrow and upright with slightly uneven widths and subtly inconsistent joins, reinforcing a made-by-hand texture. Counters tend to be tight, ascenders are prominent, and the overall silhouette reads as narrow, lively, and slightly wobbly rather than strictly geometric.
Best suited for short display text where its condensed width and lively contrast can add personality—such as headlines, posters, packaging, book covers, and distinctive wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes or small blocks of playful copy when set with generous tracking and leading.
The font conveys a playful, quirky tone with a hint of vintage charm. Its springy contrast and irregular ink traps feel expressive and friendly, like quick sign lettering or a whimsical hand-lettered title.
The design appears intended to capture an informal, hand-rendered print look with dramatic verticality and expressive contrast, prioritizing character and rhythm over strict uniformity for eye-catching display typography.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and dramatic, while lowercase includes a mix of compact bowls and long, tapering descenders that add animation in text. Numerals follow the same contrasty, drawn quality, with slender shapes and occasional looped or hooked details that suit display settings more than long passages.
