A dramatic, brush-like display face with sharply tapered terminals and irregular, ink-driven contours. Strokes swing between thick, rounded swells and needle-fine hairlines, creating strong contrast and a lively, variable rhythm across the alphabet. Many forms lean with a cursive slant and show asymmetrical construction, with occasional hooked ends, pointed joins, and slightly wobbly baselines that reinforce a hand-rendered look. Counters are generally open and simplified, while verticals and diagonals often finish in blade-like points that read clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited for display work where its sharp terminals and high-contrast strokes can read as intentional texture—titles, posters, packaging, and short phrases. It can also add strong atmosphere to headings in entertainment contexts such as horror games or event promotions, but will be less comfortable for long body copy due to its irregular rhythm and narrow hairline details.
The overall tone feels ominous and theatrical, like quick lettering made with a loaded brush for a midnight poster or a cursed manuscript. Sharp spikes and inky tapers give the text a tense, suspenseful energy, while the organic irregularity keeps it feeling human and unpredictable.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-painted, suspense-driven lettering—combining brush-calligraphy movement with aggressive, pointed finishing to create an unsettling, cinematic voice. Its emphasis on gesture and contrast suggests it was drawn to prioritize mood and impact over neutrality or continuous-text comfort.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same gestural DNA but vary noticeably in width and presence, producing a deliberately uneven texture in mixed-case settings. Numerals keep the same brush contrast and pointed endings, with a few figures leaning into curvy, calligraphic silhouettes rather than rigid geometric structure.
