A distressed display face with rough, uneven contours and subtly wavy verticals that make each stroke feel hand-cut or worn. The letterforms keep a broadly upright stance and familiar skeletons, but edges are intentionally irregular, with occasional pointed notches and soft bulges that create a restless silhouette. Terminals tend to taper or hook slightly, and counters are organic rather than geometric, contributing to a carved/inked look. Spacing appears moderately open in text, while the varying widths and textured outlines keep the line rhythm lively and imperfect.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as titles, cover lines, and themed display settings where texture is a feature. It can work for subheads or short paragraphs in large sizes, but the intentionally rough edges and irregular widths favor poster, packaging, and on-screen title use over long-form reading.
The overall tone is dark and theatrical, suggesting haunted signage, old spellbooks, or folklore ephemera. Its roughness reads as aged and uncanny rather than clean or modern, with a playful menace that suits dramatic headlines and seasonal horror cues.
The design appears intended to evoke an aged, hand-made atmosphere—somewhere between carved lettering and distressed ink—while keeping letter skeletons recognizable for quick reading. It prioritizes mood and texture over typographic neutrality, aiming to deliver an instantly unsettling, folkloric character in display contexts.
Uppercase forms show the strongest personality, with especially irregular curves and angular bites; lowercase remains readable but keeps the same ragged edge language. Numerals follow the same distressed treatment, making the set feel consistent for posters and title treatments where a unified spooky texture matters.
