A condensed, hand-rendered sans with tall proportions and slightly irregular stroke edges. Stems are mostly straight and upright, while curves are pinched into rounded-rectangle shapes that feel compressed and taut. Terminals tend to be blunt or subtly hooked, and many strokes show rough, inky texture that creates a lightly distressed rhythm across words. Counters are narrow but open enough for text use, with modest contrast appearing as natural pen/ink variation rather than strict modulation.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality are desired—posters, covers, editorial headings, and packaging. It can work for short text or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, but the condensed width and roughened edges favor larger settings and strong contrast against the background.
The overall tone is gritty and handcrafted, evoking DIY print, zine headlines, or an imperfect stamped/inked look. Its narrow, wiry forms add tension and energy, giving it a slightly eerie, retro flavor without turning ornamental.
The design appears intended to provide a narrow, space-efficient display voice with a deliberately imperfect, ink-on-paper character. Its consistent vertical structure keeps it readable, while the uneven edges and compressed curves supply the distinctive, handcrafted identity.
The spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, which amplifies the handmade feel and keeps lines visually lively. Round letters like O and Q read as vertically stretched with tight bowls, and punctuation (dots and apostrophe) appears small and crisp against the textured strokes.
