A tall, condensed display face built from slender, tapered strokes that sharpen into needle-like points. Curves are drawn with a slightly uneven, hand-rendered rhythm, and many terminals flare or pinch to create a spiky silhouette. Counters stay open but irregular, with occasional off-center joins and asymmetries that keep the texture lively. Overall spacing feels tight and vertical, producing a fence-like cadence in words while still retaining recognizable letterforms.
Best used at display sizes where the tapered points and irregular rhythm can be appreciated—posters, titles, book covers, event graphics, and packaging that calls for a quirky or spooky tone. It can work well for short bursts of text (names, pull quotes, headings) rather than extended reading.
The font reads as quirky and mischievous, with a lightly sinister edge created by its thorny terminals and wavering curves. It evokes a playful “creepy-cute” mood—more theatrical than serious—suited to expressive, character-driven typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable, characterful texture through exaggerated verticality and sharp, tapering terminals. Its controlled irregularity suggests a deliberate move away from neutrality toward expressive, one-off display lettering.
In continuous text, repeated vertical strokes form a strong striped pattern, and sharp terminals can create visual sparkle at larger sizes. The numerals and capitals follow the same pointed logic, keeping the set stylistically consistent for headline-style use.
