A narrow, upright text face with lively, slightly irregular construction and tapered terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast and frequent flare, giving many letters a carved or brush-cut feel rather than purely geometric uniformity. Curves are compact and somewhat squarish in their fit, while verticals remain firm; widths vary noticeably between glyphs, creating a syncopated rhythm in words. Lowercase forms are compact with a short x-height, small counters, and distinctive one-storey shapes (notably a and g), plus a light, asymmetric energy in diagonals and joins.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, posters, and packaging where its tapered terminals and animated rhythm can be a feature. It can also work for short editorial passages or captions when a human, slightly eccentric tone is desired, especially at comfortable sizes and with generous leading.
The overall tone is quirky and personable, with a gentle vintage flavor and a handcrafted edge. It reads as informal but intentional—more “characterful editorial” than strict utilitarian UI. The uneven rhythm and tapered endings add warmth and a slightly whimsical voice.
The design appears intended to offer a condensed sans voice with a handcrafted, flared-stroke character—combining straightforward structures with deliberate irregularities to avoid neutrality. Its short x-height and variable glyph widths suggest a focus on expressive typography and distinctive word shapes rather than purely utilitarian consistency.
Capitals feel tall and condensed with simplified, open constructions (e.g., C/G) and pronounced tapering at stroke ends; numerals follow the same narrow, stylized logic with curvy, display-friendly silhouettes. In longer text the face maintains legibility, but its irregularities remain part of the personality, especially in tight spacing and at larger sizes where the terminals and stroke modulation become more prominent.
