A lightly built, hand-drawn print with tapered, brush-like terminals and frequent pointed spur details. Strokes show subtle wobble and pressure variation, creating an uneven edge and a lively, irregular rhythm. Forms are mostly upright with open counters and simple construction, while diagonals and joins often sharpen into thorny tips. Spacing and letter widths vary noticeably, reinforcing an intentionally informal, drawn-on feel.
Best suited to display sizes where the tapered tips and irregular stroke character can be appreciated—titles, posters, book covers, game or film graphics, and themed packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or headings, while long passages may feel busy due to the active edges and variable letterfit.
The overall tone is playful and slightly eerie, blending a storybook friendliness with a dark, scratchy edge. It reads as expressive and characterful rather than refined, suggesting handmade signage, fantasy themes, or light horror styling without becoming heavy or gothic.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering with sharpened, dramatic terminals, prioritizing personality and thematic atmosphere over strict uniformity. Its mix of open forms and spiky accents suggests a deliberate balance between legibility and expressive, slightly macabre flair.
Uppercase shapes tend to feel more angular and spear-like, while lowercase is rounder and more casual, creating a mixed, animated texture in text. The numeral set follows the same tapering, sketchy logic, with occasional dramatic angles that make it attention-grabbing in short bursts.
