A condensed, all-black letterform set with strong vertical emphasis and visibly hand-cut edges. Strokes read as inked shapes rather than clean vector outlines, with slight waviness, small nicks, and uneven terminals that create a textured silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and often asymmetrical, and the contrast is driven by thick main stems against thinner joins and interior cut-ins. Spacing feels compact and lively, with small width differences between glyphs that enhance the hand-drawn rhythm.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where the textured edges and compact proportions can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and book covers. It can also work for themed pull quotes or section headers, but the heavy texture may reduce clarity at very small sizes.
The font carries a handmade, old-world energy—part poster woodcut, part improvised lettering. Its rough texture and narrow stance give it a theatrical, slightly mischievous tone that feels more artisanal than formal.
Likely designed to mimic hand-printed or hand-cut lettering, prioritizing character and tactile texture over mechanical precision. The condensed proportions and punchy silhouettes suggest an intention for attention-grabbing display use with a vintage, crafted feel.
Round letters (like O/Q) appear more oval and vertically pulled, while many joins and serifs-like notches feel carved rather than constructed. Numerals share the same uneven edges and sturdy presence, helping the set stay consistent in display contexts.
