A compact, hand-drawn display face with irregular, brush-like strokes and pronounced tapering at terminals. Forms are narrow with a lively, slightly uneven rhythm, mixing rounded bowls with occasional sharp notches and teardrop joins. Stroke modulation feels pressure-driven, giving letters a carved/inked look, while counters stay fairly open for a dense, dark color. Overall spacing and proportions vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, hand-rendered texture.
Best suited to short text: headlines, poster titles, packaging callouts, labels, and book or game cover typography where personality is the priority. It can also work for themed signage or event graphics, but the dense stroke color and narrow fit make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The font communicates a playful, storybook energy with a slightly spooky or mischievous edge. Its bouncy silhouettes and inky, tapered ends read as casual and expressive rather than formal, suggesting handmade signage and characterful headings.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handmade display voice that feels brushed and slightly irregular, prioritizing character and visual punch over typographic neutrality. Its tapered terminals and varied letter widths aim to mimic quick, confident hand lettering while staying cohesive across an alphabet.
Uppercase shapes are simplified and chunky, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic forms (notably the single-storey a and g) and livelier ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same tapered, inked logic and maintain strong presence at display sizes.
