A wiry, hand-drawn print face with tall proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes are thin and slightly wavering, with occasional heavier inked patches that read like pressure changes from a pen or brush. Curves are narrow and pinched, terminals are often tapered or pointed, and many forms show subtle asymmetry that reinforces the handmade construction. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving text a jittery, organic texture rather than a rigid grid-fit feel.
Best suited to short bursts of text where texture is an asset: posters, book and zine covers, episode titles, packaging accents, and themed event graphics. It works especially well for playful-horror or Halloween-adjacent branding, and for headlines where its irregular rhythm can be appreciated without compromising readability.
The overall tone is quirky and slightly eerie, like quick lettering for a homemade poster or a spooky story title. Its scratchy edges and pointed details add tension and character, while the informal irregularity keeps it playful rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, expressive hand lettering with a deliberately uneven baseline and pressure variation, prioritizing personality over uniformity. Its narrow, tall silhouettes and pointed terminals suggest a goal of creating a distinctive, slightly unsettling display voice that still reads clearly in short lines.
Capitals have a lanky, display-like presence, while the lowercase stays compact and can look delicate at small sizes due to the fine strokes and narrow counters. Numerals follow the same hand-rendered logic, with simple shapes and occasional calligraphic flicks that help them feel consistent with the alphabet.
