A tall, condensed hand-drawn print with chunky, brushlike strokes and softly tapered terminals. Letterforms are simplified and slightly wobbly, with uneven widths and a gentle side-to-side rhythm that keeps the texture lively. Curves are rounded and swollen, counters are compact, and joins often look organically pinched, as if made with a felt tip or loaded marker. Spacing is moderately tight and the overall silhouette reads as a dark, energetic line of text.
Best suited to short display settings where its dense, inky texture can do the talking—posters, event promos, playful packaging, book covers, and branded headers. It can add character to labels and social graphics, while longer paragraphs may feel heavy due to its compact counters and tight internal spacing.
The font projects a lighthearted, mischievous tone—more doodled than polished—bringing a friendly, informal voice to headlines. Its irregularities add charm and personality, giving text a handmade, crafty feel that can also skew slightly spooky or storybook depending on context.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a bold marker, prioritizing personality and impact over strict geometric consistency. It aims to deliver a distinctive, informal display voice that feels approachable and crafted.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent narrow stance, with distinctive, high-contrast silhouettes created more by tapering and bulging than by sharp serifs. The numerals follow the same brushy logic with rounded bowls and compact interior spaces, keeping the set visually cohesive in display sizes.
