A condensed, hand-rendered print style with irregular outlines and slightly wobbly verticals that give each glyph a carved or brush-ink presence. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness, but edges are rough and textured, with subtle swelling and tapering at terminals. The letterforms lean upright and generally narrow, with tall ascenders/descenders and compact counters that create a tight, vertical rhythm. Spacing appears uneven in a natural way, and the variable character widths add to the handmade cadence in running text.
Works well for headlines, short passages, and titling where texture and personality are desirable—such as posters, book covers, indie game interfaces, or themed packaging. It’s especially effective when paired with simple supporting typography that can carry body text while this face provides the expressive accent.
The overall tone feels homemade and characterful, with a slightly eerie, storybook energy. Its rough texture and narrow, jagged silhouettes suggest something rustic and dramatic rather than polished or corporate.
Designed to capture a natural hand-drawn look with narrow proportions and rough, ink-like edges, prioritizing character and atmosphere over strict geometric consistency. The goal appears to be an energetic, slightly distressed display voice that still reads cleanly in short-to-medium lines.
Distinctive, angular curves and pointed joins show up repeatedly (notably in bowls and diagonals), while punctuation and numerals keep the same scratchy, inked texture. The condensed build can make dense paragraphs feel busy, but it adds intensity and personality at display sizes.
