A slanted, decorative serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and an intentionally irregular, hand-drawn finish. Strokes show scratchy edges, occasional ink-like breaks, and tapering terminals that create a lively, imperfect texture. Proportions are condensed overall, with narrow letterforms and a relatively small x-height, while capitals feel tall and emphatic. Serifs and terminals vary from glyph to glyph, producing a deliberately uneven rhythm and a slightly jittery baseline presence in running text.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text where the irregular texture and sharp contrast can be appreciated—posters, headlines, cover typography, packaging, and event promotions. It can also work for playful branding accents or pull quotes, but its lively irregularity makes it less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font reads as mischievous and theatrical, mixing elegant calligraphic contrast with a rough, eccentric personality. Its uneven stroke behavior and quirky details create a sense of spontaneity and humor, leaning more toward character and attitude than polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-of-a-kind, wacky display voice by combining high-contrast, italicized calligraphic structure with deliberately rough, inked imperfections. Its purpose is to inject personality and motion into typography rather than to look mechanically consistent.
Round forms (such as O/0) show strong internal contrast and sharp tapering, while diagonals and joins often appear knife-like or brushed, reinforcing the handmade feel. Numerals match the same expressive logic, with stylized curves and narrow widths that keep the set visually consistent as a display face.
