A scratchy, hand-drawn display face with uneven stroke widths and sharply tapered terminals that often end in thin, thorn-like points. Curves are slightly faceted and wobbly, with intentional irregularities that create a jittery rhythm across words. The counters are open and somewhat inconsistent, and many joins feel brushy or inked, as if formed with a dry pen or rough nib. Proportions are compact with varied glyph widths, and the overall silhouette reads as wiry and jagged rather than smooth or geometric.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror or mystery titles, Halloween promotions, game titles/UI accents, and atmospheric poster or cover typography. It can also work for branded wordmarks where a handcrafted, ominous voice is desirable, but the texture and irregularity are most effective at larger sizes.
The font projects an unsettling, occult-leaning tone—more “inked spellbook” than polished horror poster. Its spurs and rough edges add tension and a sense of motion, giving text a nervous, haunted energy while staying readable at display sizes.
The design appears intended to mimic rough, hand-inked letterforms with sharp, eerie terminals, prioritizing mood and texture over typographic neutrality. Its controlled legibility suggests a display font built to carry spooky flavor while still functioning in real phrases and headlines.
Uppercase forms tend to be angular and slightly archaic, while lowercase introduces more quirky, handwritten behavior (notably in rounded letters and dotted i/j). Numerals follow the same ragged, tapered logic, keeping the set visually cohesive for headlines and short bursts of copy.
