A rough, brush-like display face with irregular outlines and visibly hand-rendered stroke edges. Forms are broad and slightly slanted, with medium contrast created by uneven pressure and tapering terminals. Counters are often lumpy and asymmetric, and many joins look carved or chipped, producing a distressed silhouette. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic rhythm rather than a rigid typographic grid.
This font works best at display sizes where the distressed edges and uneven brush texture can be appreciated—titles, posters, Halloween promotions, and atmospheric branding. It can also add character to short UI labels or in-game headings for horror, fantasy, or folklore settings, and to packaging where a handmade, ominous tone is desired.
The letterforms project an eerie, folkloric mood—more haunted woods than polished gothic. Its ragged contours and blunt, inked-in shapes feel ominous and a little playful, like handmade signage for a spooky attraction or a storybook spell.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering with deliberate roughness, using jagged edges, tapering ends, and variable widths to evoke handmade authenticity and a dark, story-driven atmosphere.
Uppercase shapes read bold and emblematic with simplified internal structure, while the lowercase is narrower and more wiry in places, increasing the hand-drawn contrast between cases. Numerals keep the same roughened, brushy construction and remain highly characterful rather than strictly utilitarian.
