A tall, tightly set sans with heavy, simplified strokes and subtly irregular contours. The letterforms are narrow and vertically stressed, with gently swelling curves and occasional angular kinks that create an uneven rhythm across words. Terminals are mostly blunt with a few tapered ends, and counters are compact, giving the font a dense, poster-like color. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing a lively, slightly wobbly texture in text.
Best used for display applications where character and presence matter: posters, headlines, packaging, cover titles, and short bursts of copy. It can work in larger sizes for branding accents and signage, while extended small-size text may feel visually busy due to the irregular rhythm.
The font reads as playful and offbeat, with a handmade, cartoon-leaning sensibility. Its uneven rhythm and tall proportions suggest a retro display voice—friendly but a little mischievous—suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, condensed display voice with a handmade feel—prioritizing personality and impact over strict geometric regularity. Its variable rhythm and compact counters suggest it was drawn to look energetic and memorable in headline settings.
The alphabet shows noticeable idiosyncrasies in curves and joins, which adds personality but also makes the texture intentionally uneven. Numerals follow the same tall, compact pattern, keeping a consistent silhouette for mixed alphanumeric settings.
