A hand-drawn print style with scratchy, ink-like strokes and visibly irregular contours. Letterforms are generally upright with narrow proportions and variable glyph widths, showing small shifts in baseline and spacing that create a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes taper and blob subtly as if made with a dry pen or brush, producing rough terminals, occasional spur-like flicks, and slightly inconsistent curves. Counters are modest and somewhat pinched in places, with simplified, handwritten construction rather than typographic refinement.
Well suited for display settings where a handcrafted, spooky or folkloric voice is desired—such as Halloween graphics, horror or mystery titles, indie game interfaces, event posters, and illustrated book covers. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging accents when a rough, handmade texture is beneficial, but its irregular spacing and scratchy detail favor larger sizes over dense body text.
The overall tone feels eerie and storybook-like—more “sketched in ink” than polished. Its jittery edges and uneven rhythm suggest mystery, mischief, and a lightly macabre handmade charm, while still reading as friendly and casual rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, expressive handwriting with a slightly haunted, ink-scratch texture. It prioritizes personality and atmosphere over strict regularity, aiming to deliver an organic, handmade look that remains broadly legible in headline contexts.
Uppercase and lowercase follow the same informal construction, with noticeable idiosyncrasies across rounded forms and diagonals. Numerals match the hand-rendered character, using simple shapes and occasional hooked or tapered endings, helping mixed text retain a consistent, drawn-on-paper feel.
