A hand-drawn print face with a pronounced backward slant and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes are bold with moderately varied thickness, and many terminals end in wedge-like, chiseled points that suggest a brush or marker lifted quickly. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with irregular widths and subtly wobbly stems that keep the texture energetic. Rounded letters (like O, C, G) are slightly squarish and asymmetrical, while diagonals and joins (V, W, N, M) feel sharp and snappy. The lowercase shows a simple, informal construction with single-storey forms and a consistent, readable x-height.
Best suited to display use where its angular brush texture and backward slant can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging, and characterful book or album covers. It also works well for playful or themed branding (campy horror, retro fun, kids-oriented graphics) and short bursts of copy such as pull quotes, labels, and signage.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a comic, spooky-fun edge created by the backward slant and knife-like terminals. Its irregularities read as intentional and expressive, giving text a handmade, personality-forward feel rather than a neutral typographic voice.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, hand-rendered lettering with a stylized reverse slant and chiseled stroke endings, prioritizing character and motion over uniformity. It aims to deliver an informal, attention-grabbing voice that feels drawn rather than typeset.
In longer lines the reverse lean produces a distinctive leftward motion that can feel dynamic and slightly uncanny, especially at larger sizes. Numerals share the same angular, tapered finishing, keeping display settings cohesive across letters and figures.
