A tall, condensed sans with subtly irregular outlines and a lightly hand-drawn, cut-paper feel. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with tapered joins and occasional swelling in curves, giving the letters a wiry rhythm rather than a mechanically uniform texture. Terminals are mostly blunt, and counters are compact; curves (C, O, S, e) feel slightly pinched and asymmetrical, while verticals stay dominant and straight. Overall spacing and widths vary a bit by glyph, producing a lively, uneven color in text without becoming chaotic.
Best suited to display applications where a distinctive, handcrafted voice is helpful: posters, headlines, packaging, and branding accents. It can also work for short editorial callouts or book-cover titling, where its condensed width helps fit longer words while retaining personality.
The font reads as quirky and personable, with an offbeat, handmade energy. Its narrow, tall proportions and gently wobbly modulation lend a retro display flavor—more playful and human than neutral or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed sans that feels human and characterful, using controlled irregularity and stroke modulation to avoid a sterile texture. It prioritizes visual personality and a lively rhythm in larger sizes over strict geometric precision.
Uppercase forms are especially narrow and elongated, while lowercase maintains a readable, straightforward structure with small, tight apertures. Numerals follow the same condensed, slightly irregular logic, keeping the set visually consistent for headlines and short bursts of copy.
