A condensed, hand-drawn display face with tall proportions and sharp, tapered terminals. Strokes show pronounced contrast with frequent swelling and thinning, and edges are intentionally rough, with sketchy texture and occasional interior nicks that mimic dry brush or worn printing. Curves are irregular and slightly angular, counters are uneven, and spacing feels lively rather than strictly mechanical, producing a jittery rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are an advantage—posters, headlines, book or game covers, and themed packaging or labels. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when you want a gritty, hand-inked accent and can give it enough size and breathing room to preserve the distressed details.
The overall tone feels theatrical and slightly eerie, like lettering for folklore, dark fantasy, or old-world ephemera. Its rough ink texture and narrow stance add urgency and grit, while the bouncy irregularity keeps it approachable and playful rather than purely severe.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-inked, slightly worn lettering with a dramatic, storybook edge. By combining condensed proportions with high-contrast brush strokes and roughened contours, it aims to deliver strong impact and atmosphere in thematic display typography.
Capital forms carry a calligraphic flavor with exaggerated verticals and pointed joins, while lowercase maintains a compact, handwritten feel with varied widths and occasional quirky silhouettes. Numerals follow the same textured brush treatment, reading as hand-rendered rather than engineered, which reinforces the intentionally imperfect personality.
