A condensed, tall sans with a lively, irregular rhythm and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes often swell into rounded terminals, creating a slightly inky, brush-like texture, while counters stay compact and vertical. Curves are narrow and upright, and many joins show soft tapering that gives the letters a hand-drawn, poster-oriented feel. Lowercase forms are relatively small against the long ascenders, reinforcing a vertical, tightly set silhouette.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed proportions and contrast can create strong vertical emphasis—posters, headlines, packaging, and branding marks. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes, but extended small-size reading will feel busy due to the energetic stroke modulation and compact counters.
The overall tone is playful and idiosyncratic, mixing a vintage sign-painting vibe with a gently theatrical, storybook character. Its exaggerated verticality and pulsing contrast make text feel animated and attention-seeking rather than neutral or corporate.
Likely designed to provide a narrow, high-impact display voice with a handcrafted flavor—something that fits in tight horizontal spaces while still feeling expressive and distinctive.
The alphabet shows intentional unevenness in stroke weight distribution from glyph to glyph, which adds charm but also increases texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic, with curved figures leaning toward decorative display use rather than utilitarian tabular clarity.
