A condensed, hand-drawn print style with tall proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes show pronounced contrast and a dry, slightly scratchy texture, with tapered terminals and occasional swelling in verticals. Curves are narrow and somewhat angular, and counters stay tight, giving the letters a compressed silhouette. Edges are intentionally irregular and organic, creating a consistent “drawn” character while preserving clear, upright structure.
Works best for short to medium-length display copy such as headlines, posters, book or album covers, themed packaging, and event promotions where texture and personality are desirable. It can also serve as an accent font paired with a calmer text face for contrast, especially in genre or seasonal designs.
The overall tone feels quirky and slightly eerie, like hand-lettered titling for folklore, Halloween, or offbeat storytelling. Its narrow, high-contrast shapes and rough texture add drama and nervous energy without becoming chaotic. The result is playful but with a gothic-adjacent edge.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, confident hand lettering with a dry tool, combining condensed proportions with dramatic stroke modulation. It aims to deliver an expressive, characterful voice that feels handmade and slightly unsettling, suited to attention-grabbing display applications.
Capitals are especially tall and prominent, giving headings a vertical, poster-like presence. Numerals follow the same condensed, textured logic, reading clearly while keeping the hand-made wobble. The font’s texture and tight spacing can visually darken lines of text as size decreases, so it benefits from a bit of breathing room in layout.
