A wiry, condensed display face with tall proportions and a slightly uneven, hand-inked construction. Strokes show a dry-brush texture with ragged edges and occasional tapering terminals, creating a worn print effect. Forms are mostly upright with narrow counters and variable stroke presence from letter to letter, giving the alphabet a lively, irregular rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same skinny silhouette, and overall spacing feels tight and vertical, emphasizing a lanky, poster-like presence.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as horror or thriller titles, theatrical posters, Halloween/event promotions, and game or film graphics where atmosphere matters more than neutrality. It can work for pull quotes or packaging accents when used at display sizes, paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The texture and narrow, scratchy forms convey a dark, theatrical mood—suggesting horror, mystery, and vintage pulp or hand-printed ephemera. Its irregularity reads as intentionally imperfect, lending an eerie, handmade character that feels slightly unstable and dramatic.
The design appears intended to mimic narrow hand-rendered lettering and distressed printing, combining a condensed silhouette with dry-brush artifacts to create a gritty, spooky display voice. The goal seems to be maximum character and texture in headlines rather than quiet readability in extended text.
The distressed texture becomes more prominent at larger sizes, where the dry ink edges and small nicks are clearly visible. In longer lines of text, the condensed proportions create strong vertical color and a busy surface, which can feel energetic but visually intense.
