A condensed handwritten display face with tall, slim letterforms and a lively, uneven stroke. Strokes show pronounced contrast and a brush-pen feel, with tapered joins, occasional pointed terminals, and subtle wobble in verticals that keeps the rhythm organic. Edges read slightly rough and inky, with small variations in thickness from glyph to glyph; counters are generally narrow, and round letters (O, Q, 0) stay upright with a hand-drawn ovality. Numerals and lowercase share the same narrow proportions, and ascenders/descenders are long enough to add a rangy silhouette in text.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and short branded phrases where the narrow footprint and hand-inked texture add character. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts when paired with a calmer text face.
The overall tone is informal and human, with a crafty, slightly weathered personality that suggests hand lettering rather than engineered typography. It feels approachable and spirited, balancing elegance from the tall proportions with charm from the imperfect, inked texture.
Likely designed to evoke quick, confident marker or brush lettering with a slightly worn print impression, delivering a distinctive handmade look while remaining legible in short passages and titles.
The capitals are especially tall and linear, while lowercase forms stay simple and open, keeping words readable despite the narrow set. The texture is subtle enough to hold together in short lines, but the irregularity becomes part of the voice in larger sizes.
