A hand-rendered display face with brush-like strokes, sharp tapers, and occasional blunt, ink-heavy terminals. Letterforms are mostly upright and compact, with irregular stroke edges that create a torn, scratchy silhouette. Contrast comes from quick transitions between thin hairline flicks and heavier pooled strokes, while spacing and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph for an organic rhythm. Counters are small to moderate and often asymmetric, and the numerals follow the same uneven, calligraphic construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as horror or Halloween posters, game and film titling, haunted attraction signage, and moody book or album covers. It can work for pull quotes or section headers where a gritty, handmade texture is desired, but it’s less appropriate for small sizes or dense body copy.
The overall tone is ominous and ritualistic, suggesting inked warnings, pulp horror titling, or occult ephemera. Its jagged tapers and blotty joins give it a tense, nervous energy that reads as intentionally imperfect and unsettling.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering with controlled chaos—thin, needle-like flicks paired with heavier ink deposits—to produce a dramatic, eerie display texture. Irregular widths and rough outlines prioritize atmosphere and personality over typographic neutrality.
In longer lines the texture stays lively due to the inconsistent stroke finish and varied character widths, but the irregularities become a prominent stylistic feature. The lowercase shows a notably small x-height relative to tall ascenders, reinforcing a spindly, haunted verticality.
