A rough, hand-rendered display face with heavy, brush-like strokes and ragged, torn-looking edges. Letterforms are built from uneven pressure marks that swell and pinch, creating occasional sharp hooks and tapering terminals. Curves are lumpy and asymmetrical, counters are irregular, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade rhythm rather than a geometric system. The uppercase feels blocky and forceful while the lowercase stays simple and open, with a compact, inked texture that reads clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited for short display settings where texture is an asset—titles, posters, packaging, and promotional graphics for horror, mystery, or dark fantasy themes. It can also work for logos or chapter headings where a handmade, ink-brushed character is desired, but the rough edges may overwhelm long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is unsettling and ritualistic, combining a playful handmade looseness with a darker, scratchy intensity. Its uneven edges and pointed flicks suggest ink dragged quickly across paper, giving headlines a haunted, improvised energy.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, pressure-sensitive brush lettering with intentionally imperfect contours, creating a spooky, handcrafted voice that feels immediate and slightly menacing.
Stroke joins often appear pinched or blunted, and some characters show small spur-like protrusions that add bite without turning into full drips. Numerals follow the same brush logic, with thick silhouettes and slightly distorted bowls and diagonals, keeping the set visually cohesive.
