A decorative outline face built from extremely thin, hairline contours with pronounced thick–thin contrast and frequent gaps, nicks, and tapered endings. Letterforms are narrow and upright, with a restless, sketch-like stroke rhythm that alternates between smooth curves and scratchy, irregular edges. Many glyphs show partial outlines and cut-in voids that make counters feel airy and unstable, producing a deliberately distressed, incomplete silhouette. The overall texture is light and brittle, with inconsistent stroke continuity that reads more like ink traces than solid construction.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, title sequences, album/cover art, and editorial headlines where a haunted, scratchy outline look is desirable. It works well for short words and initials, and for mood-driven branding or event graphics, but its fine lines and distressed contours call for larger sizes and generous spacing.
The font conveys an eerie, spectral mood—like faded calligraphy or scratched film titles. Its delicate outlines and broken contours create tension and drama, leaning toward mysterious, macabre, and avant‑garde tones rather than friendly or neutral readability.
The design appears intended to deliver a ghostly outline aesthetic with high contrast and intentional erosion, prioritizing atmosphere and character over neutrality. It aims to mimic fragile pen or etched marks, giving familiar Latin forms a tense, imperfect presence for dramatic display typography.
In running text the outline construction stays very light, while the fractured details become more prominent at larger sizes where the tiny breaks and tapered terminals can be appreciated. The uppercase set carries most of the ornamental character, while the lowercase and numerals read more straightforward by comparison, creating a mixed, collage-like typographic voice.
