A chunky, hand-drawn display face with compact proportions and a lively right-leaning stance. Strokes are thick with subtly uneven edges and intermittent, chiseled-looking terminals that create a cut-paper or carved-ink feel. Letterforms alternate between rounded bowls and sharper joins, with slightly inconsistent widths and spacing that add a casual rhythm while staying broadly legible. The lowercase shows a modest x-height and simplified forms, while capitals are tall and assertive with exaggerated curves and angled finishing strokes.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, headlines, book covers, packaging, and event graphics where a handmade, whimsical voice is desired. It also works well for children’s media, games, and seasonal or novelty themes; for longer passages, it benefits from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a storybook energy that feels handcrafted rather than polished. Its bounce and irregularity suggest humor, informality, and a touch of spooky-fun novelty without becoming overly distressed.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handmade personality with a deliberately imperfect rhythm, prioritizing charm and expressiveness over strict typographic regularity. Its angled posture and chunky silhouettes aim to add motion and character to display typography.
The font’s character comes through in its varied terminal shapes and the gentle wobble in verticals and curves, which keeps lines of text animated. Numerals follow the same chunky, hand-shaped logic and read best at larger sizes where the distinctive cuts and angled endings can be appreciated.
