A condensed, tall sans with subtly irregular, hand-drawn construction. Strokes show noticeable modulation with frequent tapered terminals and pointed joins, giving many letters a lightly chiseled or brush-cut feel. Curves are narrow and upright, counters are tight, and widths vary by glyph, creating a lively, uneven rhythm while staying broadly consistent in overall height and alignment. Numerals follow the same narrow, slightly calligraphic logic, with simplified shapes and sharp finishing cuts.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where character is a priority: headlines, posters, cover titling, and brand marks that want a quirky handmade voice. It can also work for labels and packaging, especially when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The tone is quirky and theatrical, blending a whimsical, storybook energy with a slightly spooky or vintage display flavor. Its compressed proportions and spiky terminals add tension and character, making the text feel animated and expressive rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver an expressive, handcrafted alternative to standard condensed sans faces, prioritizing personality through tapered terminals, narrow proportions, and playful irregularity while remaining legible in display sizes.
The design’s personality comes through most in its terminal treatment and the slightly irregular sidebearings, which produce a bouncy texture in words. The compressed forms help it stack tightly in headlines, but the distinctive shapes make it feel intentionally stylized rather than purely utilitarian.
