A hand-rendered serif with irregular, brush-like strokes and softly ragged edges that create a blotted, ink-on-paper texture. Letterforms are generally narrow with a slight rightward slant and a lively, uneven baseline rhythm. Terminals tend to swell and taper unpredictably, with occasional hook-like feet and roughened curves that keep counters slightly lopsided. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, emphasizing an organic, improvised construction over geometric consistency.
This font works best for short to medium display text where texture and mood are the priority: horror or mystery headlines, Halloween promotions, book and podcast titles, and atmospheric game UI elements. It can also support themed pull quotes or chapter headers when set with generous spacing to preserve its rough details.
The overall tone feels eerie and off-kilter, like distressed lettering from an old poster or a spooky storybook title. Its imperfect contours and inky buildup suggest something aged, uncanny, and handmade, with a playful edge rather than pure menace.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive, inked lettering with controlled irregularity—combining narrow, slightly slanted forms with distressed edges to create a spooky, handcrafted voice suitable for themed display work.
Capitals read as display-oriented, with decorative, uneven serifs and occasional bulbous joins that add character. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same mottled stroke texture, and the set shows intentionally inconsistent widths that enhance the jittery, analog feel in text lines.
