A jagged, hand-rendered display face with brushy strokes and ragged, torn-looking edges. Forms are slightly condensed overall, with uneven character widths and lively, irregular rhythm. Stroke endings taper into spikes and hooks, and curves show wobble and ink-like texture rather than smooth geometry. Counters are small and sometimes pinched, while verticals vary subtly in thickness, giving the alphabet a scratchy, distressed presence in both caps and lowercase.
Best used at medium to large sizes where the distressed edges and spiky terminals can be appreciated—titles, posters, cover art, packaging, and themed branding. It can also work for game UI headings or short labels where an eerie handmade mood is needed, but it’s less suited to long-form reading due to its intentionally rough texture.
The font projects a spooky, storybook energy—part horror prop, part mischievous hand lettering. Its rough texture and thorny terminals suggest tension and unease, while the bouncy irregularity keeps it more theatrical than grim. Overall it feels suited to fantastical or occult-leaning themes where a handmade, worn-in tone is desirable.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush or marker lettering that has been worn, smeared, or roughly printed, emphasizing atmosphere over typographic polish. Its irregular proportions and scratchy contours aim to deliver immediate thematic impact for spooky and fantastical settings.
The glyph set shows intentional inconsistency in stroke edges and terminal shapes, creating a convincing printed-ink or dry-brush effect. Numerals follow the same rough, handwritten logic and read clearly at display sizes. In running text the texture becomes the dominant feature, so spacing and rhythm feel intentionally uneven and organic.
