A wiry, high-contrast display face built from thin hairlines and sharp, ink-trap-like wedges. Strokes often taper to needle points, with occasional swollen terminals and hooked entry/exit strokes that feel pen-drawn and slightly unstable. Curves are airy and open, counters stay generous, and many letters show deliberate irregularities in join behavior and stroke endings, producing a restless rhythm across words. The overall construction reads as italic-leaning with a light footprint and a visibly hand-rendered texture.
Best suited for short display settings where atmosphere is the priority: horror and thriller titles, spooky posters, game menus, themed event flyers, and cover design. It can work for brief taglines or pull quotes at moderate sizes, but the fine hairlines and lively irregularities favor larger display typography over dense text.
The font projects an eerie, nocturnal tone—more whisper than shout—through scratchy tapers, spines, and claw-like terminals. Its uneven energy and razor-thin strokes suggest occult signage, ghost-story titling, and suspenseful atmosphere rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to emulate a scratchy, calligraphic hand with sharpened terminals and ghostly lightness, balancing legibility with unsettling texture. Its letterforms prioritize mood and narrative character, aiming to evoke suspense through tapering strokes and jagged, organic details.
Uppercase forms tend to feel more theatrical, with pronounced spikes and angular stress, while lowercase remains readable but keeps the same nervous, tapering ductus. Numerals follow the same hairline-plus-wedge logic, with distinctive curved figures that echo the calligraphic, haunted mood.
