A condensed slab-serif with tall proportions and a largely monoline stroke, giving it a clean, even color on the page. Serifs are small and blunt with a slightly bracketed, hand-cut feel, and terminals often end in subtle flares or squared-off caps. Curves are narrow and verticalized (notably in C, G, O, and S), while joins and bowls show gentle irregularities that keep the texture lively rather than mechanical. The lowercase is compact with upright stems and relatively tight counters, and the numerals follow the same narrow, elongated construction for a consistent rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, book covers, and packaging where a narrow display face can save space while adding personality. It can also work for short editorial callouts, pull quotes, and branding accents when you want a crafted, slightly vintage flavor at larger sizes.
The overall tone is whimsical and slightly old-fashioned, like a modern take on hand-set display type from posters or storybook titles. Its narrow, tall stance reads energetic and a bit eccentric, adding character without becoming overtly decorative.
The letterforms suggest an intention to combine the clarity of a narrow slab-serif structure with the charm of hand-drawn irregularity. It appears designed to deliver distinctive display impact and a memorable texture in titles, while remaining legible in short passages.
The design maintains strong vertical rhythm and consistent stroke presence across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps longer lines stay coherent. Distinctive shapes—such as the narrow, high-shouldered m/n, the looped descenders in g/j, and the angular, stylized forms of some figures—reinforce a crafted, idiosyncratic voice.
