A tall, condensed handwritten print with monoline strokes and rounded terminals, showing subtle wobble and uneven edges that mimic marker or pen on paper. Letterforms are generally upright with a narrow stance and generous verticality, while counters and bowls vary in size and placement. Many glyphs include blotty, speckled interior texture, creating a distressed, ink-stamped look without strong contrast changes.
Works well for short display text where a handmade, slightly roughened tone is desirable: posters, zines, crafts packaging, kids or novelty branding, and playful editorial callouts. It can also suit Halloween-ish or offbeat themes due to the blotty texture, but is best kept to headlines, labels, and brief passages rather than dense body copy.
This font feels playful and slightly mischievous, with a handmade spontaneity that reads as casual and personal rather than formal. The irregular ink texture and quirky shapes add a lightly gritty, DIY character that can tip toward spooky or comic depending on context.
The design appears intended to capture an intentionally imperfect, hand-drawn print voice—legible at a glance but full of small irregularities and ink artifacts for personality. The narrow proportions and tall rhythm suggest an aim to fit text compactly while keeping a distinctive, character-led texture.
The texture appears embedded directly into several glyphs (notably rounded letters and numerals), so the overall color on the page can look uneven in a deliberate way. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from character to character, reinforcing the hand-rendered feel.
