A compact, hand-drawn display face with chunky stems and tapered, wedge-like terminals that read almost as chiseled serifs. Strokes are mostly solid and weighty with subtle modulation and frequent pointed joins, giving many letters a cut-paper or carved-ink silhouette. Curves are simplified and slightly lumpy, counters tend to be small, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an uneven, lively rhythm. Overall spacing appears tight and the forms sit upright with a steady baseline and a consistent, poster-ready color.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, book or chapter titles, game or event branding, packaging callouts, and whimsical signage. It can also work for brief pull quotes or headers where a handcrafted, characterful voice is desirable, but the dense shapes suggest using it at comfortable display sizes.
The tone is playful and slightly mischievous, with a fairy-tale or vintage cartoon flavor. Its sharp nicks and wedges add bite and energy, while the irregular handwork keeps it friendly rather than formal.
This font appears designed to deliver a bold, hand-rendered personality with a carved or cutout aesthetic, prioritizing character and rhythmic irregularity over strict typographic precision. The wedge terminals and compact proportions aim to create strong silhouettes that hold up well in expressive, illustrative layouts.
Distinctive triangular terminals and occasional notched details show up across both caps and lowercase, creating a cohesive “hand-cut” texture. The numerals and punctuation match the same blunt, tapered construction, helping mixed text maintain a unified, illustrative feel.
