A wiry outlined display face with a hand-drawn, double-stroked look: the contour often appears as two close, slightly misaligned lines, creating a jittery outline and occasional micro-gaps. Strokes are thin and uneven with subtle wobble, and terminals tend toward sharp, pointed ends rather than clean cuts. Proportions are generally narrow with tall ascenders, a notably small lowercase x-height, and variable widths that give the line a lively, improvised rhythm. Round letters (O, C, G) read as airy loops, while diagonals and joins show sketch-like overlap and inconsistent pressure.
Best suited to display use such as posters, titles, chapter heads, book or zine covers, and themed packaging where its sketchy outline can be read large. It can also work for short pull quotes or branding elements that want an illustrative, handcrafted feel, but it may lose clarity in long passages or small UI text.
The overall tone is playful and eerie at once—like handwritten lettering for a folktale, mystery, or Halloween-themed piece. Its imperfect outlines and twitchy rhythm add personality and a slightly unsettling, animated energy that feels informal and expressive rather than polished.
The design appears intended to mimic quick pen outlines and imperfect tracing, prioritizing character and texture over geometric consistency. Its airy counters and irregular contours aim to deliver a distinctive hand-drawn voice for expressive display typography.
In text settings the thin outline and internal doubling create strong texture, so spacing and counters can feel busy at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals retain the same scribbly contour behavior, helping headings and short phrases maintain a cohesive, hand-rendered character.
