A slender, hand-rendered display face with tall proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation that feels like pen or brush pressure. Strokes taper sharply into fine points, with occasional wobbles and uneven terminals that create an intentionally rough, distressed finish. Curves are narrow and elongated, counters stay small, and spacing feels airy, giving the overall texture a light, prickly rhythm. The lowercase shows a modest x-height relative to long ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a delicate, vertical silhouette in text.
Best suited for display applications where its delicate, distressed texture can be appreciated—titles, short phrases, and branding moments in posters, book covers, and packaging. It particularly fits seasonal or narrative contexts (fantasy, folklore, spooky themes) and can add character to game titles and event graphics when set with generous size and spacing.
The font reads playful and slightly eerie, combining storybook charm with a scratchy, handmade edge. Its spindly forms and pointed terminals suggest a fanciful, magical tone—more quirky than formal—while the irregularities add personality and a touch of mischief.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive hand lettering with controlled contrast and a deliberately imperfect, worn finish. Its goal is to deliver a distinctive, themed voice that feels crafted and atmospheric rather than neutral or strictly typographic.
In continuous text the thin hairlines and sharp joins create a lively sparkle, but the narrow forms and tight counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes. Numerals share the same tapered, hand-drawn logic, keeping a cohesive, crafted look across letters and figures.
