A tall, angular display face built from mostly straight strokes and sharp corners, with subtle hand-drawn wobble in the verticals and occasional flared or hooked terminals. Counters tend toward squarish forms, curves are minimized, and many glyphs feel slightly skewed or uneven in a deliberate, lively way. Stroke weight stays fairly consistent overall, while junctions and terminals create local emphasis, giving the alphabet a jittery, carved look. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the irregular rhythm in text.
Best suited to short display settings where personality is the goal: posters, headlines, book or game titles, packaging accents, and themed event flyers. It can also work for pull quotes or UI labels in playful, stylized contexts, but the irregular rhythm is likely too assertive for long-form reading.
The overall tone is quirky and mischievous, with a slightly eerie, storybook edge. Its crooked geometry and spiky terminals read as playful rather than polished, evoking DIY signage or stylized lettering meant to feel odd and characterful.
The design appears intended to deliver an intentionally imperfect, experimental look—combining narrow, towering proportions with angular construction and hand-made irregularity to create instant character at display sizes.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same narrow, vertical stance, so mixed-case settings retain a strong, condensed texture. Numerals follow the same angular logic, keeping the set visually cohesive for headings and short callouts.
