This is a hand-drawn, brush-like serif with irregular stroke edges and subtly tapering terminals. Letterforms lean forward and show lively stroke modulation, with sharp notches and occasional wedge-like flicks that create a slightly spiked silhouette. Curves are loosely rounded and sometimes lopsided in an intentional way, while straight stems vary in thickness and smoothness as if inked quickly. Capitals feel narrow and angular with quirky proportions, and the lowercase maintains an approachable, readable rhythm despite its rough, textured outlines.
Best suited to display settings such as horror and Halloween headlines, book or album covers, film posters, and spooky event graphics. It can also work for game titles and UI labels where a handcrafted, unsettling texture is desired, while longer passages are more effective when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is haunted and storybook-like—suggesting old manuscripts, folk tales, and occult ephemera rather than clean modern typography. Its uneven ink texture and pointed accents add tension and a faint sense of menace, while the playful irregularities keep it from feeling overly grim.
The design appears intended to mimic fast ink or brush lettering with controlled roughness, using tapered strokes and sharp, irregular terminals to evoke an aged, uncanny atmosphere. Its goal is expressive personality over geometric regularity, delivering a themed look that stays broadly legible in short-to-medium text runs.
Numerals and punctuation match the same scratchy, hand-rendered behavior, with slightly inconsistent widths and baseline feel that reinforce an organic, improvised look. The font’s character shows most strongly at larger sizes where the ragged edges and small flicks remain visible.
