A tall, spindly handwritten display face with narrow proportions and a mostly monoline stroke. Curves are drawn with a loose, slightly wobbling motion, and many strokes show scratchy overlaps and roughened edges, creating a lightly distressed, sketched texture. Counters tend to be small and vertical, terminals are simple and tapered, and spacing feels irregular in a natural hand-lettered way, with noticeable variation from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to short display settings where its thin, sketchy texture can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging accents, and book or zine covers. It also fits themed applications such as Halloween or quirky event branding, and works well when paired with a calm text face for contrast.
The overall tone is playful and oddball, with a slightly eerie, storybook character. Its wiry strokes and imperfect outlines suggest something improvised and human, leaning toward quirky humor as much as subtle creepiness.
The design appears intended to mimic narrow, hand-drawn lettering with a deliberate roughness, trading typographic regularity for personality. Its tall rhythm and distressed pen-like texture aim to deliver a distinctive, theme-ready voice in display sizes.
Ascenders and capitals run tall relative to the lowercase, and rounded forms (like O/C/G) read as elongated ovals. The texture is most apparent in straights and joins, where doubled lines and frayed edges give the impression of quick pen marks or worn printing.
