A hand-drawn, irregular display face with thin strokes and subtly jagged contours. Curves are rendered as faceted, multi-segment shapes, and terminals often end in sharp, chiseled points rather than smooth rounds. Letterforms vary slightly in width and symmetry, giving the alphabet a lively, uneven rhythm while maintaining clear, recognizable silhouettes. Counters tend to be open and uneven, and the numerals echo the same notched, sketch-like construction.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, book covers, game or event titles, and expressive packaging where a handmade, eccentric voice is desirable. It can work for short blurbs or pull quotes, but it’s most effective when allowed ample size and spacing so the irregular contours don’t crowd together.
The overall tone feels quirky and homemade, with a slightly wild, storybook energy. Its rough, angular outlines read as playful and offbeat, suggesting craft, folk art, or a lightly spooky “found lettering” mood rather than polished modernity.
Likely designed to mimic quick, hand-rendered lettering with a carved or sketched edge, prioritizing character and motion over strict geometric regularity. The consistent use of faceted curves and sharp terminals suggests an intentional “imperfect” aesthetic aimed at distinctive, one-off branding and illustrative typography.
Texture and wobble are built into the outlines, so the font projects personality best at larger sizes where the jagged edge detail is visible. In continuous text it remains readable, but the intentionally inconsistent stroke behavior creates a busy color that becomes more expressive than quiet.
