A decorative serif display with irregular, hand-inked construction and sharp, tapered terminals. Strokes alternate between fuller stems and hairline flicks, creating a lively, medium-contrast rhythm with slightly unstable edges and occasional burr-like notches. Capitals are stylized and somewhat monumental with exaggerated bowls and sporadic cross-strokes, while lowercase forms are narrower and more vertical, with long ascenders and thin, hooked finishing strokes. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade, uneven texture that reads best at larger sizes.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact typography—titles, chapter heads, packaging, and promotional graphics where texture and atmosphere matter more than even rhythm. It can also work for game menus, event posters, and themed signage when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve the fine tapers and rough details.
The letterforms project an eerie, storybook darkness—part gothic manuscript, part scratchy spellbook. The spines, hooks, and ink-fleck details add a sinister but playful tone suited to supernatural or Halloween-adjacent themes rather than formal text settings.
The design appears intended to evoke a haunted, hand-lettered aesthetic by combining old-style serif structures with spiky terminals, ink-like irregularities, and occasional swash gestures. The goal is strong character and immediate mood-setting, prioritizing silhouette and texture over uniformity.
Several glyphs use distinctive, decorative gestures (notably in forms like K, Q, R, and Y), with occasional extended swashes and asymmetrical joins that create strong silhouettes. Numerals and punctuation-like forms in the samples retain the same sharp, tapering behavior, keeping the overall color consistently expressive across mixed-case text.
