A compact, brush-drawn display face with lively, irregular contours and tapered stroke endings. The letterforms are narrow and slightly condensed, with sharp, wedge-like terminals, occasional spur details, and a subtle calligraphic axis that creates crisp thick–thin modulation. Curves are rounded but not polished, and many joins show an intentional, hand-cut rhythm that gives the alphabet a textured, uneven edge. The lowercase is small relative to the capitals, with bouncy proportions and simplified, ink-like shapes that keep counters tight and silhouettes bold.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, event promos, packaging, and book or game covers where the energetic brush texture can read clearly. It also works well for seasonal or themed graphics—especially spooky, fantasy, or retro-inspired layouts—where characterful letterforms are an asset.
The overall tone feels mischievous and theatrical, balancing a storybook charm with a slightly spooky, spellbook energy. Its sharp flicks and irregular brush texture suggest hand-made signage and expressive titling rather than neutral reading text.
The design appears intended to capture a hand-rendered brush/pen feel with high-impact, narrow proportions and distinctive, sharp terminals, optimized for expressive display typography. It prioritizes personality and silhouette over regularity, creating a bold, illustrative voice for titles and branding.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and the silhouettes are dominant, making the type stand out strongly at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with distinctive hooks and angled cuts that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
