A rough, brush-drawn display face with heavy, uneven strokes and visibly irregular edges. Forms are slightly right-leaning with tapered terminals and occasional spike-like flicks, giving letters a carved or slashed silhouette rather than a smooth typographic finish. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched, while curves (C, O, S) feel blobby and pressure-driven, as if made with a loaded marker or dry brush. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the alphabet, reinforcing an intentionally unstable, handcrafted rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings where texture is a feature: titles, headers, posters, packaging, and event graphics with a spooky or macabre theme. It also works well for game UI headings or chapter openers where an unsettling, hand-rendered voice is needed, but it’s less appropriate for long-form reading due to its uneven rhythm and dense counters.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking horror titles and supernatural signage. Its jittery, ink-smeared texture reads as urgent and unpolished, with a handmade menace that suggests dark folklore, haunted attractions, or eerie comic lettering.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive brush lettering with deliberate imperfections—uneven pressure, ragged edges, and sharp tapers—to create a dramatic, unsettling display voice. The variable widths and irregular silhouettes prioritize atmosphere and personality over neutrality and typographic regularity.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same distressed brush logic, with single-story, handwritten-feeling lowercase and assertive capitals. Numerals are similarly chunky and irregular, maintaining the same rough edge quality and tapered ends for consistent texture in short bursts of text.
