A hand-drawn display face with brush-like strokes and visibly roughened edges, giving each letter a slightly distressed, inked texture. Strokes show subtle tapering and uneven pressure, with occasional wobble and small spur-like terminals that mimic dry-brush or worn-marker drag. Forms are generally upright with simple, open counters and a casual rhythm; width varies noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, handmade feel. Numerals and capitals maintain the same textured outline treatment, with a lively, irregular baseline and modest consistency in proportions.
Best suited to short, expressive applications such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, book or chapter titles, and event materials where a rough handmade mood is desirable. It can also work for themed graphics—especially playful horror, craft, or rustic concepts—when used at larger sizes to let the texture read clearly.
The overall tone feels mischievous and crafty—somewhere between playful doodling and lightly eerie, Halloween-adjacent lettering. Its rough finish reads as tactile and analog, suggesting handmade signage, sketchbook titles, or worn print textures rather than polished editorial typography.
Likely designed to deliver a lively, handcrafted voice with built-in distress, capturing the look of brush lettering or imperfect print without needing additional texture overlays. The variable widths and irregular terminals appear intended to keep repeated letters from feeling mechanically uniform and to emphasize personality over precision.
Texture is carried through both outlines and interior strokes, creating a slightly blotty, uneven color that becomes more pronounced at smaller sizes. Spacing and glyph widths feel intentionally loose and variable, which adds character in short lines but can introduce a bouncy, informal cadence in longer text.
