A hand-drawn print face with tall, lean proportions and a noticeably left-leaning slant. Strokes show brush/marker-like texture with uneven edges and slight wobble, creating a lively rhythm and organic inconsistency. Many terminals come to sharp points or wedge-like flicks, and curves are slightly pinched, giving forms a wiry, animated silhouette. Spacing feels loose and irregular, with letter shapes that vary in width and stance while still maintaining a coherent overall style.
Best suited to short display settings where its hand-drawn texture and pointed terminals can carry personality—headlines, posters, packaging, event graphics, and title treatments. It also fits themed applications such as Halloween or spooky-comic branding, as well as playful interfaces like games. For long passages, the jittery rhythm and condensed feel are more effective in larger sizes and with generous spacing.
The font reads as mischievous and theatrical, with a slightly eerie, scratchy charm. Its pointed terminals and nervous energy suggest spooky-fun, comic, and story-driven tones rather than calm neutrality. The overall impression is informal and expressive, like hand-lettering used to set a mood.
The design appears intended to capture the immediacy of hand-lettered print with a slightly sinister, comic edge—combining narrow, tall forms with textured strokes and sharp flicks to create an expressive, characterful voice.
In the sample text, the slant and angular joins create a forward (leftward) motion that makes lines feel animated. The narrow caps and long ascenders/descenders give words a vertical, spidery profile, and the numerals follow the same hand-rendered, flicked-terminal style.
