A distressed, hand-rendered display face with brushy strokes and irregular contours. Letterforms are built from uneven, organic lines that swell and pinch, with frequent hooked terminals and occasional drip-like descenders. Counters tend to be open and asymmetrical, and curves wobble slightly, creating a jittery rhythm across words. Caps feel tall and angular while the lowercase keeps simple, scribbled structures; numerals echo the same rough, blotty texture and varied stroke endings.
Well suited to titles and short bursts of text for horror or suspense contexts—posters, event flyers, game splash screens, streamer overlays, and themed packaging. It can also work for chapter headers or pull quotes where a gritty, unsettling texture is desired.
The texture and tapering give the font a horror-leaning, suspenseful tone, like ink dragged across paper in a hurry. Its ragged edges and sporadic drips suggest decay and unease, making text feel restless and slightly aggressive rather than polished or friendly.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering with distressed ink, using irregular stroke weight and drip-like terminals to create a sinister, lived-in look. Its emphasis is on atmosphere and texture over strict uniformity, prioritizing expressive silhouettes for display use.
Spacing and silhouette vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade, improvised feel. The face reads best at larger sizes where the distressed edges and tapered terminals remain distinct; at smaller sizes the roughness can visually fill in and reduce clarity.
