A condensed, hand-drawn print face with sharp chamfered corners and frequent wedge-like cut-ins that read as ink traps or carved notches. Strokes keep a fairly consistent weight with moderate contrast, while curves are slightly squared and often terminate in pointed, angled ends. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with compact bowls, narrow apertures, and a slightly irregular, drawn construction that stays consistent across the set. Numerals echo the same clipped, angular logic, giving counters a geometric, cut-out feel.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where its chiseled details can be appreciated. It can add personality to logos, packaging, and titles for fiction, games, or themed events, especially when a handmade, slightly vintage edge is desired. For body copy, it will generally work better at larger sizes and with generous leading.
The font conveys a quirky, slightly gothic-leaning eccentricity—part vintage poster, part handmade signage. Its pointed terminals and chiseled details add drama and attitude without becoming fully formal or calligraphic. The result feels playful and characterful, with a mildly mysterious, storybook tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a handmade print look with a strong, recognizable silhouette: narrow proportions for punchy verticality, plus carved corner cuts to create a distinctive signature. The consistent application of chamfers and wedge notches suggests a deliberate effort to blend informal hand-drawn construction with a dramatic, poster-ready finish.
Uppercase forms are tall and narrow with stylized diagonals (notably in A, V, W, X, Y), while lowercase shows simplified, sign-painter-like shapes with occasional distinctive notches (e.g., the ear and tail behaviors). Spacing appears designed for display impact rather than long-form readability, and the distinctive corner cuts become more prominent as size increases.
