A condensed, brush-like display face with high-contrast strokes and visibly irregular, textured edges. Letterforms are upright with a lively baseline and uneven terminals that taper or flare like a dry brush. Stems often carry slight waviness and occasional bulges, creating a hand-rendered rhythm; counters are small-to-moderate and sometimes pinched. The overall color is dark and energetic, with consistent roughness across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, headlines, packaging labels, and themed titles where texture is an asset. It works well in short phrases, pull quotes, and branding moments that want an artisanal or distressed feel; for longer passages, generous size and spacing help preserve clarity.
The font conveys a rustic, handmade character with a playful, slightly spooky edge. Its scratchy texture and sharp terminals read as expressive and crafty rather than polished, giving text an immediate, human presence.
Likely designed to emulate quick, expressive brush lettering with intentional roughness, balancing narrow proportions with dramatic stroke contrast to create an eye-catching, themed display voice.
Caps have a tall, narrow silhouette and read well as display, while the lowercase introduces more cursive-like movement (notably in letters with descenders), increasing personality but also visual noise in dense settings. Numerals follow the same brush texture and condensed stance, suitable for headings and short callouts where an organic tone is desired.
