A wiry, hand-drawn italic with narrow proportions and an intentionally uneven rhythm. Strokes taper and swell subtly, with ragged edges and occasional thorn-like spur terminals that create a scratchy silhouette. Letterforms lean forward with lively, inconsistent widths and a bouncy baseline feel; counters are often tight and shapes stay open and simplified rather than carefully constructed. Capitals are tall and gestural, while the lowercase keeps a compact body with long, flicking ascenders and descenders that add to the erratic texture in text.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, album artwork, or stylized game/UI text where personality matters more than typographic neutrality. It can work well for spooky-fun or offbeat themes, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the scratchy details and lively slant remain clear.
The overall tone is mischievous and slightly unruly, like quick ink lettering meant to feel spontaneous and a bit spooky. Its scratchy terminals and jittery cadence give it an energetic, mischievous character that reads more like expressive handwriting than a conventional text face.
Designed to inject character through irregular, ink-like strokes and spiky terminals, prioritizing expressive motion and texture over strict consistency. The aim appears to be a one-off, playful display voice that feels handwritten, slightly distressed, and intentionally unrefined.
Texture is a defining feature: edges look intentionally distressed, and repeated letters show small inconsistencies that enhance the handmade effect. Numerals follow the same gestural logic, with narrow, slightly quirky forms that blend into the script-like flow rather than standing as rigid figures.
