A compact, high-impact display face with thick, brush-like strokes and softly tapered, teardrop-style terminals. Letterforms are tall and condensed overall, but spacing and widths vary slightly to maintain a hand-drawn rhythm. Curves are full and rounded, while joins and ends often pinch to points, creating a lively contrast between blunt mass and sharp flicks. The texture reads as inked or brushed rather than geometric, with subtle irregularities that keep lines from feeling mechanically uniform.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its bold mass and brush terminals can be appreciated—posters, cover titles, playful branding, packaging, and event/promotional headlines. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that want a handmade, characterful tone, but is less ideal for long-form reading or small UI text due to its tight counters and energetic shapes.
The font conveys a playful, slightly spooky-retro energy—bold and attention-grabbing, yet friendly and informal. Its uneven, hand-rendered cadence gives it a mischievous personality that feels theatrical and cartoon-adjacent rather than strictly rustic or elegant.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, condensed display voice with a hand-drawn, brush-ink feel—prioritizing personality, motion, and punchy silhouette over strict regularity. The variable widths and tapered terminals suggest an emphasis on expressive rhythm and a distinctive, memorable texture in titles and branding.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent brush vocabulary, with expressive swashes on select strokes and distinctive, stylized numerals that echo the same tapered endings. At larger sizes the terminal shapes and stroke flicks become a defining feature; in smaller sizes the dense weight and condensed proportions may make counters feel tight.
