A rough, hand-drawn display face with uneven stroke edges and a subtly chiseled silhouette. Stems and curves show slight wobble and taper, with corners that feel cut rather than geometrically constructed. Counters are generally open and legible, while widths vary from letter to letter, creating a lively, irregular rhythm across words. Numerals and capitals share the same textured, inked look, maintaining consistent weight while embracing intentionally imperfect outlines.
Best suited for short to medium-length display copy such as posters, titles, chapter heads, Halloween and seasonal promotions, album/episode art, and themed packaging. It can also work for game UI headings or menu labels where a handmade horror/folklore mood is desired; for long passages, the irregular outlines are more effective at larger sizes.
The texture and ragged terminals give the font an eerie, storybook atmosphere—more mischievous and ritualistic than overtly gory. It reads like hand-lettering made with a worn marker or brush, projecting an unsettling but approachable tone suited to supernatural or folklore themes.
The design appears intended to deliver a handcrafted, spooky personality through roughened contours and inconsistent widths while retaining straightforward, readable structures. It prioritizes atmosphere and texture over typographic neutrality, aiming to feel like ominous hand-lettering reproduced in print.
Spacing appears moderately generous and forgiving for display settings, helping the distressed edges remain readable. The most distinctive character comes from the broken-looking terminals and slightly jagged curves, which add motion and grit without collapsing the letterforms.
