An expressive, brush-leaning serif with sharply tapered terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. Letterforms slant consistently and show irregular, textured edges that mimic dry-brush or rough ink on paper. Strokes often begin with pointed entries and finish in thin, flicked tails, while heavier downstrokes create a lively, high-energy rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the style, and the overall spacing feels organic, with slightly uneven widths that reinforce the handmade look.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and mood are the priority—titles, taglines, posters, book and album covers, game or film branding, and themed event materials. It can also add atmosphere to packaging or signage when used at larger sizes and with generous tracking to preserve its sharp details.
The tone is dark and theatrical, with a gritty, hand-rendered character that suggests suspense and intensity. Its roughened outlines and dagger-like terminals evoke horror, mystery, and occult or fantasy themes, while still reading as a cohesive display voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a cinematic, hand-inked impact: a dramatic, brush-script sensibility translated into a serifed display alphabet with distressed edges. Its emphasis on pointed terminals, strong contrast, and organic irregularity suggests a deliberate push toward suspenseful, genre-forward typography.
Uppercase forms are tall and commanding, with calligraphic stress and occasional spur-like protrusions that add bite. Numerals follow the same brushy logic, mixing firm strokes with wiry hairlines for a cohesive set that works best when allowed to breathe.
