A hand-inked display face with wiry, uneven strokes that swell and pinch like a dry brush or worn pen. Forms are mostly upright with slightly compressed proportions and noticeably irregular widths, giving the line a restless rhythm. Terminals often end in sharp wedges or blunt, torn-looking finishes, and curves are slightly angular rather than perfectly round. Counters stay fairly open for the style, while the baseline and stroke edges wobble subtly, emphasizing an intentionally distressed, handmade construction.
Best suited to short display settings where texture is an asset: horror and Halloween headlines, game titles and UI moments, haunted-event posters, and spooky book or podcast cover typography. It can work for subheads or short callouts, but the distressed edges and irregular rhythm make it less appropriate for long passages or small-size body copy.
The texture and pointed terminals create an eerie, storybook-horror tone—more “cursed manuscript” than polished gothic. It feels mysterious and tense, with a ritual/folklore edge that reads as spooky without relying on heavy dripping effects. The irregularity suggests something old, improvised, and slightly menacing.
The design appears intended to mimic quickly drawn, ink-on-paper lettering—controlled enough to remain legible, but roughened to evoke unease. Its tapered, jagged terminals and inconsistent stroke behavior aim to deliver an immediate atmospheric impact for themed display use.
Capitals are more expressive and spiky, while lowercase remains simple and narrow, keeping words readable at display sizes. Numerals follow the same rough-ink logic with uneven curves and slight asymmetry, helping them blend naturally in titles and short bursts of text.
