A lively, hand-drawn display face with brush-like strokes that swell and taper into sharp, spear-shaped terminals. Letterforms combine rounded bowls with angular joins and occasional exaggerated points, creating an uneven, organic rhythm across the alphabet. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph—some forms feel narrow and upright while others open wide—reinforcing an intentionally irregular texture. Counters stay fairly open, and the overall silhouette reads cleanly despite the jagged terminal treatment.
Best suited for short display settings where character matters more than neutrality—posters, playful branding, party or event materials, game/UI headings, and packaging that benefits from a quirky handmade voice. It can work in brief blurbs or pull quotes at larger sizes, but the irregular rhythm makes it less ideal for long text.
The tone is mischievous and energetic to the point of cartoonish, with a scratchy, improvised charm. Its spiky ends and slightly off-kilter consistency give it a wry, humorous personality that feels informal and attention-seeking rather than refined.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering while exaggerating terminals and spacing to produce a distinctive, wacky texture. It prioritizes personality and motion over typographic regularity, aiming for an expressive, illustrative presence in display use.
Uppercase shapes tend to be more geometric in their structure but keep the same tapered, pointed finishing. Lowercase forms lean more calligraphic, with simple single-storey constructions and occasional looped or hooked details that emphasize the handmade look. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing smooth curves with abrupt, sharpened endpoints for a cohesive, doodled feel.
