A wiry handwritten display face with tall, compressed proportions and a lively, uneven baseline. Strokes look inked and pressure-driven, with tapered terminals, occasional hook-like finishes, and subtle wobble that keeps the rhythm irregular. Edges are intentionally rough and slightly broken in places, creating a distressed texture without becoming illegible. Uppercase forms are narrow and upright-leaning with simplified structures, while lowercase is similarly compact with small counters and a notably petite x-height relative to the ascenders.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and mood are the priority: posters, title cards, album artwork, game UI headings, and promotional graphics. It also works well for spooky packaging accents or chapter headers, but the distressed strokes and compressed shapes make it less ideal for long-form text.
The overall tone reads eerie and theatrical—like quick marker lettering used for suspense, mystery, or macabre storytelling. Its scratchy texture and nervous movement suggest urgency and unease, leaning toward horror and dark fantasy rather than casual note-taking.
Designed to deliver an expressive, hand-inked voice with a deliberately worn, scratchy finish. The goal appears to be quick, dramatic lettering that feels human and imperfect, emphasizing atmosphere over typographic neutrality.
The font’s texture varies from glyph to glyph, with some letters showing heavier ink buildup or streaking that enhances the hand-rendered feel. Numerals match the same narrow, spindly construction and keep the set visually consistent for headings and short callouts.
