A wiry, hand-drawn calligraphic face with thin strokes, intermittent swelling, and pointed, blade-like terminals. Letterforms are largely upright with a lively, irregular baseline and subtle wobble in verticals, giving a written-by-hand rhythm rather than geometric regularity. Curves are open and lightly tensioned, while stems often taper to sharp tips; counters remain clear despite the scratchy texture. Capitals are tall and expressive, and the overall spacing feels slightly uneven in a natural, organic way.
Best suited to short display settings where its spiky terminals and hand-ink texture can be appreciated: book covers, posters, title cards, and themed packaging or labels. It can also work for pull quotes or section heads, but the irregular rhythm may become busy in long passages at small sizes.
The tone reads playful and slightly eerie, like inked lettering for folktales or fantasy ephemera. Its spiky terminals and uneven stroke energy give it a quirky, mischievous character that feels handcrafted rather than polished.
The design appears intended to evoke formal hand lettering with a slightly scratchy pen or brush, prioritizing character and atmosphere over strict typographic uniformity. Its tall, expressive capitals and tapered terminals suggest a decorative, narrative-forward role for titles and themed display typography.
Distinctive pointed serifs/terminal flicks appear on many strokes, creating a thorny silhouette in display sizes. Numerals and punctuation keep the same drawn texture and tapered endings, maintaining a consistent handmade voice across the set.
