A distressed, hand-rendered serif with uneven contours and a blotchy, ink-worn texture throughout. Strokes are generally sturdy but show irregular width, with ragged edges, slight wobble, and occasional nicks that make counters feel carved rather than drawn. The letterforms keep a mostly upright stance and readable proportions, while terminals and serifs appear chipped and blunt, creating a gritty silhouette. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, imperfect rhythm in text.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where texture is a feature: horror or suspense titling, Halloween and haunted-attraction graphics, occult or apothecary-style branding, poster headlines, and game or tabletop materials needing an aged, unsettling tone. It can work in larger paragraph samples when a gritty, storybook mood is desired, though the heavy distress favors larger sizes and generous leading.
The font projects an eerie, antique atmosphere—like worn print pulled from a cursed chapbook or a weathered label. Its rough inkiness and irregular outlines suggest mystery, superstition, and a handcrafted darkness without becoming illegible.
The design appears intended to mimic rough, worn printing or brush-ink lettering, prioritizing atmosphere and tactile texture over mechanical precision. Its consistent distress pattern and controlled upright structure suggest a deliberate balance between legibility and an ominous, aged aesthetic.
Capitals have a sturdy, sign-like presence, while lowercase forms maintain a compact, slightly rugged texture that stays consistent across lines. Numerals match the same distressed treatment and feel cut from the same material, making mixed alphanumeric settings visually cohesive.
