A condensed, high-impact display face with tall proportions and a tight, vertical rhythm. Strokes are heavy with subtly pinched waists and flared terminals that read like wedge serifs, giving many letters a totemic, cut-paper silhouette. Counters are compact and often vertically oriented, while joins and curves are slightly uneven, producing an intentionally quirky texture. Figures follow the same condensed, flared logic, with sturdy blocky shapes and occasional asymmetries that reinforce the handmade feel.
Best suited to display settings where character is the priority: posters, headlines, event titles, packaging, and distinctive logotypes. It works particularly well in short phrases and punchy names, where the irregular rhythm and flared terminals can read clearly and add personality.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical—equal parts carnival poster and offbeat storybook. Its narrow, towering shapes and flared ends create a dramatic, slightly spooky energy that feels playful rather than formal.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke a handcrafted, vintage show-card sensibility through condensed proportions, exaggerated flares, and deliberate irregularities. The goal is memorable novelty and immediate mood-setting rather than neutral readability.
The design leans on strong vertical stems and sculpted terminals to create personality at a distance, with small internal spaces that can fill in at smaller sizes. Uppercase and lowercase share the same condensed stance, helping mixed-case settings keep a consistent, poster-like color.
