A condensed, hand-drawn print style with irregular, slightly right-leaning forms and a lively baseline. Strokes are firm but uneven, with rough edges and occasional thick–thin variation that reads like a marker or dry brush. Counters are tight and openings are sometimes pinched, while terminals tend to be blunt and softly tapered rather than crisp. Overall spacing and widths vary per glyph, giving the alphabet an intentionally imperfect, organic rhythm.
Best used for display typography where texture and personality are desired—posters, headlines, title cards, flyers, and themed packaging. It can also work for short bursts of UI or signage-style labels in entertainment contexts, but the rough edges and tight counters make it less suitable for long-form body text.
The font conveys a scrappy, eerie energy—like hurried lettering on a poster or a hand-lettered warning sign. Its jittery texture and narrow silhouettes feel tense and off-kilter, but also informal and fun, making it well-suited to playful horror and DIY aesthetics.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, hand-inked lettering with a deliberately worn, imperfect finish. Its narrow proportions and lively irregularity prioritize expressive impact and mood over typographic neutrality.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rough, hand-rendered logic, with tall ascenders and compact bowls contributing to a vertical, squeezed color on the page. Numerals match the distressed texture and remain readable at display sizes, though the dense interiors suggest avoiding very small settings.
