A tall, spindly display face with a wiry mono-stroke feel and subtly uneven contours that mimic pen-drawn lettering. The forms are narrow and vertically emphasized, with generous internal whitespace and open counters in letters like C, E, and S. Terminals often end in small notches, hooks, or pointed tips, and many stems show slight kinks or bulges that create an intentionally irregular rhythm. Rounds (O, Q, 0, 6, 8, 9) appear as pinched ovals with occasional off-center joins, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sharp and needle-like; overall spacing reads airy, with noticeable variation in sidebearings typical of display lettering.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, book or album covers, packaging, and themed event materials where personality is the priority. It also works well for short bursts of copy—titles, pull quotes, or labels—especially in whimsical or spooky contexts. For longer text, its narrow, irregular rhythm is more effective as an accent than as a primary reading face.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a faintly eerie, storybook energy. Its lanky silhouettes and twitchy details suggest oddball humor, magic-shop signage, or Halloween-adjacent atmospheres rather than formal communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn character through tall proportions, jittery stroke behavior, and unusual terminals, creating a deliberately imperfect texture. The goal seems to be instant mood-setting—quirky and slightly uncanny—rather than typographic neutrality or high-density readability.
Capitals and lowercase share the same lean, elongated DNA, but the lowercase adds extra quirk through asymmetric bowls and looped gestures (notably in g, q, and y). Numerals follow the same narrow, hand-rendered logic, with distinctive, slightly curled shapes that read best at larger sizes where the small terminal details remain clear.
