A wiry, hand-drawn display face built from extremely thin, high-tension strokes with abrupt tapers and occasional ink-like swell points. Letterforms mix sharp, spear-like terminals with a few soft curves, creating an irregular rhythm and intentionally uneven color across words. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with tall ascenders, compact lowercase bodies, and narrow counters that keep the texture airy and brittle. The overall construction feels gestural rather than geometric, with slight wobble, uneven joins, and a sketchy baseline presence that reads as deliberately imperfect.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as titles, poster headlines, chapter openers, packaging callouts, and stylized interface labels where a hand-made, eccentric voice is desired. It can work well for horror-comedy, fantasy, or experimental editorial art direction, but its airy strokes and irregular rhythm are more effective at display sizes than in continuous reading.
The font projects a playful-but-unnerving tone—like scratch-pen lettering for eccentric stories, odd signage, or stylized captions. Its spidery thinness and quirky construction give it a theatrical, slightly gothic whimsy that can feel mysterious, mischievous, and handmade.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, expressive pen strokes with dramatic tapers and a lightly erratic cadence, prioritizing personality over uniformity. It aims to deliver an illustrative, one-off feel—like bespoke lettering—while still covering the core alphanumeric set for decorative display use.
Uppercase characters tend to dominate with taller, more graphic silhouettes, while the lowercase stays small and delicate, emphasizing a strong case-contrast in presence. Numerals and punctuation keep the same hairline, tapered treatment, helping short strings feel cohesive while longer passages become more textural than comfortable.
