A tall, tightly set hand-drawn print with narrow proportions and an irregular, bristled stroke edge that suggests a dry brush or rough pen. Stems are predominantly vertical and straight, while curves are simplified and slightly pinched, producing angular joins and pointed terminals. Letterforms are uneven by design—stroke thickness wobbles subtly, counters vary, and widths fluctuate—creating a lively, improvised rhythm. The lowercase is compact with a relatively small x-height, and many characters use elongated ascenders/descenders and sharp hooks for added bite.
Best suited to short display settings where personality and atmosphere are the priority—titles, poster headlines, Halloween promotions, game/film graphics, and themed packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or signage when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels eerie and mischievous, with a horror-comic energy that reads as handmade rather than polished. Its scratchy texture and spiky terminals evoke Halloween ephemera, pulp mystery, and playful occult storytelling more than everyday casual handwriting.
The font appears intended to capture a deliberately rough, hand-rendered look with a narrow, vertical stance and spiky, textured finishing. Its irregularity and sharpened shapes are geared toward creating dramatic, slightly unsettling display typography with strong character.
In text, the condensed build and irregular outlines create a strong vertical cadence and noticeable texture across lines. The design favors distinctive silhouettes over smooth readability, especially at smaller sizes where the ragged edges and tight interiors can visually fill in.
