A tall, condensed sans with dramatic stroke modulation and a distinctly hand-inked feel. Stems frequently swell into heavy verticals while connecting strokes taper into hairline-thin joins, creating sharp rhythm changes within and between letters. Curves are slightly irregular and lively, with occasional pointed terminals and narrow counters that emphasize the verticality. Overall spacing feels compact but not rigid, and letterforms vary subtly in width for an organic, drawn quality.
Best suited for headlines and short display lines where its contrast and narrow footprint can create a strong vertical texture. It works well for editorial titling, posters, book covers, packaging, and brand marks that want a quirky, vintage-leaning personality. In longer passages, it’s likely most comfortable in larger sizes where the fine hairlines remain clear.
The font reads as theatrical and characterful, balancing elegance from its high contrast with a mischievous, offbeat energy. Its quirky proportions and spiky details give it a vintage, storybook tone—more expressive than neutral—while staying clean enough to remain legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, high-contrast display voice in a condensed silhouette, combining a sans foundation with hand-drawn irregularities. Its shifting stroke weight and expressive terminals suggest a focus on character and rhythm over strict geometric uniformity.
Round forms like O and 0 are narrow and upright, while diagonals and joins in letters such as K, V, W, and X become extremely thin, giving a delicate, wiry sparkle. The numeral set follows the same contrast pattern, with some figures showing pronounced thick verticals and hairline curves, reinforcing the handcrafted cadence across text.
