A wiry, hand-drawn text face with thin, slightly wavering strokes and subtly rough edges that suggest pen or pencil texture. Letterforms are compact and generally upright, with irregular widths and lively, inconsistent curves that keep the rhythm intentionally uneven. Counters tend to be small and pinched in places, terminals look lightly frayed, and joins show occasional wobble, giving the set an imperfect, human cadence. Numerals follow the same spindly construction, with simple shapes and slight asymmetry that reads as sketched rather than engineered.
Well suited to short-to-medium text where a hand-rendered, distressed voice is desirable—such as horror or mystery titling, indie game interfaces, zines, book covers, and poster headlines. It can also work for captions or pull quotes when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the fragile stroke detail.
The overall tone feels homemade and a bit eerie, balancing playful charm with a faintly unsettling, scratch-written quality. It evokes notebook scrawls, folktale headings, or lightly “weathered” lettering where the texture becomes part of the personality rather than a flaw.
Likely designed to deliver an intentionally imperfect, handwritten look with a lightly distressed surface—prioritizing character and atmosphere over strict typographic regularity. The goal appears to be a distinctive, sketched texture that immediately signals a themed, narrative mood.
In longer lines the irregular spacing and varied letter widths create a jittery texture that reads best when the design can breathe. The thin strokes and delicate joins make the face feel more illustrative than utilitarian, especially at smaller sizes or against busy backgrounds.
