A condensed, hand-drawn display face with high-contrast strokes and a visibly brushy, inked texture. Letterforms are upright and narrow, with pointed terminals, occasional flare-like thickening, and irregular edges that suggest dry-brush or worn printing. Strokes alternate between thin hairlines and heavier verticals, creating a lively rhythm; counters are generally small and tight, and many joins show organic wobble rather than geometric precision. The lowercase includes tall ascenders and long, looping descenders, while figures follow the same narrow, slightly uneven, hand-rendered construction.
Best suited to display sizes where the rough edges and stroke contrast can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging, book covers, and album art. It can also work for short pull quotes or branding wordmarks when a handcrafted, slightly worn aesthetic is desired.
The overall tone feels handmade and slightly weathered, combining a vintage poster sensibility with a quirky, storybook energy. Its rough texture and spiky terminals add a touch of grit, while the narrow proportions and looping descenders keep it expressive and playful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive hand lettering with a distressed, ink-on-paper finish, delivering a narrow, high-impact silhouette that stands out in titles and themed graphics.
Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph in a way that reads intentional and human, enhancing the distressed, printed-by-hand character. The texture remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping long lines of display text feel cohesive despite the irregularities.
