A compact, hand-drawn display face with chiseled, angular terminals and a subtly irregular rhythm. Strokes are thick and confident, with small notches and wedge-like cuts that give edges a carved or cut-paper feel. Letterforms are mostly upright with uneven widths and slightly inconsistent curves, reinforcing a drawn-by-hand construction. Counters are generally tight, and the lowercase presents a modest x-height relative to the tall ascenders, producing a condensed, vertical silhouette.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as posters, headlines, game or book titles, and logo wordmarks where its carved details can read clearly. It also works well for themed packaging, event graphics, and seasonal promotions that benefit from a playful gothic or fantasy accent.
The overall tone feels mischievous and storybook-like, with a lightly eerie, old-world flavor. Its jagged details and carved edges suggest fantasy, folk craft, or seasonal horror without becoming overly distressed.
The design appears intended to mimic informal lettering shaped with a knife or chisel—deliberately imperfect, compact, and high-impact—so it can add character and narrative flavor to display typography.
Caps carry a stronger, more architectural presence, while the lowercase leans friendlier and more informal, creating an animated, mixed-case texture in words. Numerals share the same cut-in corners and compact proportions, keeping signage-style clarity while maintaining the handmade character.
