A narrow, hand-drawn print face with upright stance and lively, uneven stroke edges that suggest a brush or worn marker. Strokes show subtle tapering and wobble, with small nicks and splatters that create a distressed outline rather than a clean contour. Letterforms are simple and readable, but intentionally irregular: terminals vary, curves are slightly angular, and spacing feels hand-set with inconsistent sidebearings. Numerals share the same sketchy, inked texture and compact proportions.
Works best for short-to-medium setting where texture is desirable: horror or thriller titles, Halloween promotions, fantasy or occult-themed packaging, indie game UI labels, and poster headlines. It can also add character to quotes, pull lines, and signage-style graphics where a rough, hand-inked look supports the message.
The overall tone is eerie and rustic, balancing legibility with a handmade roughness. It evokes homemade signage, horror props, and fantasy ephemera—more unsettling and gritty than playful, with a strong DIY energy.
The design appears intended to mimic quickly hand-painted or hand-lettered print, preserving natural inconsistencies and distressed edges to add atmosphere. It prioritizes personality and mood over typographic refinement, aiming for a gritty, spooky display voice that still reads clearly.
Capitals tend to be taller and more spindly, giving headings a jagged rhythm, while lowercase maintains a straightforward printed structure for readability. The distressed perimeter is consistent enough to feel like a coherent style, but varied enough to keep text looking organic rather than mechanically repeated.
