A handmade, brush-pen style with sharp, tapering terminals and visibly uneven stroke edges. Letterforms mix thin hairlines with sudden inky swells, creating a jittery rhythm and a slightly unstable texture across words. Curves often show open, sketch-like counterforms (notably in round letters), while verticals can look dragged or split, as if made with a dry brush. Overall spacing and widths feel irregular, with a lively, organic cadence rather than strict geometric consistency.
Best suited to display work where the distressed, hand-rendered texture can be appreciated: posters, book or zine covers, indie game titles, themed packaging, and album artwork. It can also work for short pull quotes or headings in branding that wants an artisanal or spooky tone, but the lively irregularity is less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font conveys a raw, spellbook-meets-sketchbook energy—part whimsical, part ominous. Its scratchy contrast and pointed strokes suggest improvised signage, folklore, or horror-fantasy titling, while the playful unevenness keeps it from feeling overly formal or polished.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, expressive brush lettering with intentionally imperfect edges and fluctuating pressure, prioritizing personality and atmosphere over typographic neutrality. It’s built to deliver a distinctive, themed voice in headlines and titles, adding motion and grit without needing additional effects.
Caps are tall and gestural with angular joins, and several letters show distinctive, stylized constructions that read clearly at display sizes. Numerals echo the same drawn texture, with looping forms and occasional extra flicks that add character. The overall color on the page is airy but textured, as the interior hairlines and rough edges create a visible grain in text.
