A condensed, hand-drawn display face with visibly uneven stroke edges and a rough, inked texture throughout. Letterforms are mostly upright with high stroke contrast that reads like a brush or worn marker: thick, blotty verticals paired with thinner connecting strokes and occasional pinched joints. Curves are slightly lumpy and asymmetrical, counters are irregular, and terminals often taper or fray, creating a lively, imperfect rhythm. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a natural, hand-lettered cadence across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are an asset: posters, book or album covers, artisan packaging, Halloween or themed event materials, and bold editorial headlines. The distressed edges and variable rhythm are most effective at larger sizes, where the rough detailing reads clearly and adds atmosphere.
The overall tone feels handmade and slightly mischievous—part craft, part worn print—balancing charm with a hint of creepiness. The distressed texture and jittery contours give it an aged, DIY character that can read as rustic, quirky, or subtly ominous depending on color and context.
This font appears designed to emulate imperfect hand lettering with a distressed, ink-on-paper feel—delivering a compact, energetic voice for themed display work. The controlled upright structure keeps it readable, while the roughened edges and contrast supply character and a tactile, printed-by-hand impression.
Uppercase forms have simplified, poster-like silhouettes with occasional notches and wavering stems, while the lowercase keeps a casual, handwritten flavor with narrow, upright proportions. Numerals match the same rough, brushy construction, with uneven bowls and occasional ink buildup that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes.
