This typeface uses a rough, hand-cut brush silhouette with tapered strokes, abrupt terminals, and irregular edges that suggest a dry-brush or ink-on-texture effect. Letterforms lean forward with a quick, gestural rhythm, and stroke endings often sharpen into points or small hooks, creating a scratchy texture in text. Counters are moderately open but uneven, and joins and curves show intentional wobble, giving the design a raw, handcrafted consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where texture and mood are more important than long-form readability, such as horror or Halloween headlines, posters, event flyers, game titles and UI accents, and album or podcast cover typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or labels when you want an intentionally rough, eerie voice.
The overall tone feels ominous and ritualistic, like lettering from a haunted notice, pulp horror title, or occult ephemera. Its jagged motion and ragged contouring add tension and unease, lending a campy-but-threatening atmosphere that reads as theatrical rather than polished.
The design appears intended to mimic improvised brush lettering and distressed print, using pointed terminals and broken contours to create a spooky, threatening presence. It aims to deliver instant atmosphere through jagged rhythm and expressive, irregular stroke behavior rather than typographic neutrality.
Uppercase forms are bold and emblematic with strong silhouettes, while lowercase maintains the same rough energy for short bursts of reading. Numerals match the distressed, tapered treatment, with lively angles and uneven curves that reinforce the handmade mood.
