A condensed, hand-drawn print face with tall proportions, slightly uneven widths, and a firm, inked presence. Strokes show a brush/marker feel with rough edges, small burrs, and occasional ink buildup that creates subtle thick–thin movement. Curves are simplified and slightly lopsided in a natural way, while terminals tend to taper or blunt off abruptly, reinforcing the drawn-on-paper character. Spacing is a bit irregular, producing an animated rhythm that reads clearly at display sizes and keeps a tactile, imperfect texture in continuous text.
Works best in posters, headlines, and short bursts of text where its condensed silhouette and textured strokes can add character without relying on fine detail. It also suits packaging, book covers, and event flyers that want an informal, hand-made tone; for longer passages, larger sizes and generous leading help maintain clarity.
The font conveys a playful, slightly spooky-carnival energy—casual and mischievous rather than polished. Its narrow, tall silhouettes and scratchy ink texture add a homemade, zine-like attitude that feels energetic and expressive.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering—clean enough to stay readable, but intentionally imperfect to preserve a human, hand-rendered feel. Its narrow proportions and energetic texture suggest a focus on attention-grabbing display typography with a casual, illustrative voice.
Uppercase forms are simple and narrow with open counters, while lowercase maintains legibility with single-storey shapes and distinctive, handwritten quirks (notably in characters like g, y, and s). Numerals are narrow and lively, with the 0 and 8 showing prominent inner counters and the 1 rendered as a simple vertical stroke. The overall texture becomes more apparent as size increases, where the rough stroke edges and slight wobble read as intentional personality.
