This typeface has a hand-drawn, ink-and-brush character with crisp, high-contrast strokes and sharp, tapered terminals. Letterforms are generally narrow with a lively, slightly irregular rhythm, and many shapes show subtle swell-and-thin modulation that suggests a pointed pen or brush. Counters tend to be compact, curves are often pinched into teardrop-like joins, and several capitals feature distinctive notches and wedge-like serifs that add a cut-paper sharpness. Overall spacing is even enough for text, while small idiosyncrasies in stroke endings and joins keep it feeling handmade rather than mechanical.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where personality is desired—such as posters, book covers, game titles, packaging, and editorial headlines. It can work for brief passages in larger sizes, especially in themed contexts where a hand-rendered, tale-like voice is an asset.
The tone reads as mischievous and storybook-like, balancing legibility with a touch of theatrical flair. Its spiky terminals and inky curves give it a lightly gothic, folkloric mood without becoming heavy or intimidating, making it feel playful and characterful.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-lettered signage or illustration text, combining calligraphic contrast with crisp, stylized terminals to deliver a distinctive, narrative-driven voice. It prioritizes character and silhouette over strict uniformity, aiming for an expressive, memorable texture on the page.
Capitals have strong silhouette variety and occasional decorative touches that make them attention-grabbing in headings. Numerals follow the same brush-cut logic, with prominent contrast and angular spur details that help them stand out in display settings.
