A jagged, brush-pen display face with sharp, tapering terminals and occasional thorn-like protrusions. Strokes show noticeable contrast from pressure-like thick-to-thin transitions, with pointed entries and exits that resemble quick ink flicks. Curves are slightly irregular and open, and the overall rhythm is intentionally uneven, giving the alphabet a nervous, hand-rendered texture. Uppercase forms are tall and angular, while lowercase is simpler and compact with narrow counters and a relatively restrained x-height; numerals follow the same sharp, inked style with thin spikes and tapered ends.
Best suited to display use where texture and mood are the priority: horror or thriller titles, Halloween and haunted-house promotions, game title screens, and book or album covers. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging accents when used at sizes large enough to preserve the delicate spikes and thin strokes.
The letterforms convey an ominous, ritualistic tone—more “scratched in ink” than cleanly drawn—creating a sense of tension and suspense. The sharp tapers and sporadic barbs add a theatrical chill that reads as supernatural or haunted rather than playful.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive, hand-inked lettering with sharpened, spooky accents—balancing legibility with a deliberately unsettling texture. Its irregular edges and tapered strokes suggest fast, dramatic mark-making meant to add atmosphere rather than neutrality.
The font’s personality comes from its terminal treatment: many strokes finish in needle-like points or slight drips/flicks, which creates strong texture at larger sizes. Spacing and widths vary enough to feel handmade, while staying consistent in its brush-like logic across caps, lowercase, and figures.
