A tall, condensed outlined display face with a hand-drawn, slightly shaky contour. Strokes are rendered as hollow forms, with uneven outer edges and occasional angular corners that give the letterforms a rough, sketchbook feel. Curves are imperfect and somewhat faceted, counters are narrow, and overall widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an informal rhythm. The low x-height and long ascenders emphasize verticality, while the outline thickness remains generally consistent but visibly irregular due to the drawn contour.
Works best for posters, titles, and other display uses where personality matters more than typographic polish. The outlined construction can also be effective over textured backgrounds or when paired with a solid fill or shadow treatment in graphics. It’s especially fitting for playful horror, DIY zines, band/album art, and novelty branding where an offbeat voice is desired.
The font reads as mischievous and eccentric, like a doodled headline treatment. Its jagged outline and uneven cadence add a lightly eerie, comic tone that can feel whimsical, spooky, or punky depending on context.
The design appears intended to translate a quick, hand-inked outline style into a condensed display alphabet, prioritizing character and irregularity over strict consistency. The hollow strokes and jittery contour suggest an aim for a lightweight visual footprint while retaining a bold, attention-grabbing silhouette.
In text settings the hollow construction keeps the color light, but the irregular contour adds visual noise, making it better suited to short lines than extended reading. Round shapes (like O and 0) feel more organic than geometric, and the overall spacing looks intentionally casual rather than strictly engineered.
