The letterforms are narrow and upright with medium contrast and a visibly irregular, ink-worn perimeter. Strokes taper unevenly and break into small spikes and ragged notches, creating a scratchy silhouette while keeping the interior shapes readable. Terminals often end in pointed wedges or slightly blunted hooks, and curves are lumpy rather than geometric, giving the set a consistent, gnarly rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short display settings where atmosphere matters: horror titles, haunted-house or Halloween promotions, thriller poster headlines, and game or streaming key art. It can also work for album covers, event flyers, and packaging that benefits from a gritty, supernatural tone, especially when given generous tracking and strong contrast against the background.
This font projects a tense, unsettling mood, like ink pulled into sharp, nervous edges. The texture feels occult and theatrical, with a hand-made roughness that reads as deliberately eerie rather than purely distressed.
The design appears intended to deliver a horror-leaning, hand-inked voice that stays legible while adding aggressive texture. Its controlled narrow proportions and consistent upright stance suggest it’s meant to set mood reliably in display contexts, with rough edges and tapered terminals doing most of the expressive work.
The sample text shows consistent texture across longer lines, but the heavy edge breakup can darken counters at small sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same rough, tapered treatment, helping mixed text maintain a unified, ominous texture.
