A tall, hand-drawn print style with slim stems and visibly uneven stroke edges that mimic a dry brush or marker. Letterforms are mostly upright but irregular, with wobbly verticals, slightly inconsistent proportions, and occasional flared or tapered terminals. Counters tend to be narrow and open, and the overall rhythm is lively rather than strictly uniform, with some letters (notably curves and diagonals) showing expressive, sketch-like modulation. Numerals follow the same handmade logic, mixing rounded bowls with sharp, simplified joins for an intentionally rough finish.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, titles, book covers, event graphics, and themed packaging where the hand-rendered texture can be seen. It also works well for short quotes, signage-style headlines, and playful or spooky branding accents, especially when paired with a cleaner text face for body copy.
The texture and jittery construction give the face an offbeat, storybook tone—equal parts playful and eerie. It feels like lettering for folklore, campfire tales, or handmade signage where a little roughness adds personality and atmosphere.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered print—imperfect, slightly scratchy, and expressive—while remaining legible in headline use. Its tall forms and rough brush-like edges suggest a goal of adding mood and personality rather than typographic neutrality.
The font’s character comes from its deliberate inconsistencies: varying curve smoothness, slightly shifting widths from glyph to glyph, and occasional pointed tips that add bite to otherwise simple shapes. The lowercase maintains readability at display sizes, but the textured edges and narrow interior spaces suggest avoiding very small settings or low-contrast backgrounds.
