A condensed, hand-drawn print with brushy strokes and visible edge texture. Letterforms show intentional irregularity in stroke width and contour, with slightly pinched joins, tapered terminals, and occasional flared feet that give a carved or ink-brushed feel. Counters are generally small and vertical proportions dominate, producing a tight rhythm that reads tall and compact. Spacing and shapes vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, handmade consistency rather than geometric precision.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and personality are assets—posters, headlines, book and game titles, seasonal or Halloween-style graphics, and packaging or labels that want a handmade feel. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when you want a lively, informal voice.
The overall tone feels mischievous and theatrical—somewhere between storybook lettering and vintage horror poster energy. Its narrow, inky silhouettes and wobbly edges add a touch of unease while staying approachable and fun, making it feel expressive rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a narrow, space-efficient display hand with an intentionally imperfect, inked texture. Its goal is character and mood over neutrality, offering a distinctive silhouette for attention-grabbing titles and themed branding.
Capitals are especially characterful with uneven curves and occasionally exaggerated hooks, while lowercase maintains a simple printed construction that stays unconnected. Numerals follow the same hand-inked logic, with compact bowls and slightly irregular curves that keep the set cohesive in display use.
