A slanted, calligraphic display face with brush-like construction and sharply tapered terminals. Strokes show controlled contrast with frequent wedge starts and pinched exits, producing a jagged, hand-cut rhythm rather than smooth curves. Letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with lively irregularity in widths and stroke edges that keeps the texture animated in paragraphs. Numerals match the same carved-brush energy, with angular joins and dramatic entry strokes.
Best suited for short, high-impact lines such as horror or dark-fantasy titles, poster headlines, game branding, and cover typography. It also works well for themed packaging, event promos, and signage where an antique-eerie voice is desired. For longer copy, it’s more effective as a flavor accent (pull quotes, chapter openers, or section headers) than as body text.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, evoking old-world spellbooks, folk tales, and supernatural signage. Its rough, tapered shapes feel tense and restless, giving words a whispery, unsettling momentum without relying on literal drips or gimmicks. The italic slant adds urgency, making it read like hurried incantation or warning text.
The design appears intended to merge italic calligraphy with a roughened, sharpened edge treatment, creating a stylized hand-made texture that reads as supernatural and story-driven. It aims for strong atmosphere and instant genre signaling while keeping recognizable letterforms for display readability.
In the sample text, the dense dark color and irregular edges create strong personality at headline sizes, while smaller sizes may accumulate a noisy texture in long passages. The most distinctive cues are the sharp, blade-like terminals, uneven brush contours, and a slightly “carved” look to bowls and counters.
