A tightly condensed display face with tall, narrow proportions and a slightly uneven, hand-cut rhythm. Strokes are largely monolinear, ending in sharp, faceted terminals that create a chiseled silhouette. Many curves are squared off or subtly kinked, producing a distinctive mix of angular bowls and irregular joins. Counters are compact and the overall texture is dark, vertical, and punchy, with a deliberately idiosyncratic consistency across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
This font works best for display applications where its narrow, jagged personality can carry the message: posters, headlines, title treatments, event promos, and distinctive branding. It can also add character to packaging or label-style graphics, especially when used at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The font conveys an eccentric, slightly mischievous tone—like a stylized poster letterer with a homemade, cut-paper edge. Its narrow stance and spiky detailing add a lively tension that feels theatrical and attention-seeking rather than formal. The overall impression is quirky and retro-leaning, suited to humorous or oddball messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a one-off, characterful voice built from condensed vertical forms and sharp, irregular terminals. It prioritizes personality and a stylized silhouette over neutrality, creating an immediately recognizable look for expressive display typography.
Capitals are especially tall and rigid, while lowercase introduces more characterful quirks (notably in letters like a, g, j, and y) that emphasize a handcrafted feel. Numerals follow the same narrow, faceted construction, keeping the set visually cohesive in headlines and short bursts of copy.
