A lively, hand-drawn display face with chiseled, brush-like strokes and frequent wedge flares at terminals. Letterforms lean on simplified, chunky silhouettes while keeping an uneven rhythm: curves are slightly lumpy, strokes swell and taper abruptly, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph. The texture reads as inked or painted, with angular nicks and pointed joins that give counters and bowls a carved, cut-paper feel. Uppercase forms are compact and expressive, while lowercase remains small and varied, with single-storey constructions and minimal internal detailing that favors impact over refinement.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, chapter titles, book covers, game or event graphics, and expressive packaging where a handcrafted, humorous voice is desired. It can also work for short callouts or pull quotes, but extended body text may feel busy due to its irregular spacing and highly characterized shapes.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical, with a cartoonish energy that feels handcrafted rather than engineered. Its irregular cadence and spiky terminals suggest humor, surprise, and a lightly gothic-fantasy playfulness without becoming dark or aggressive.
This font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, one-off personality through deliberate irregularity, mimicking quick brush lettering with carved, flared terminals. The emphasis is on character and motion—creating a memorable, illustrative word shape rather than a neutral reading texture.
The numerals follow the same brush-cut logic, mixing rounded bodies with sharp hooks and tails; the “1” and “4” are especially gestural, and the “2” has a distinctive swooping form. In text, the uneven widths and animated terminals create a bouncy line texture that reads best at larger sizes, where the intentional roughness stays legible.
