A rough, inked display face with angular, brush-cut terminals and visibly irregular contours. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation, with dark, weighty verticals and sharper tapered joins that create a carved, scratchy silhouette. Edges are intentionally ragged and slightly fractured, producing a worn print/hand-rendered texture across both uppercase and lowercase. Spacing feels lively and uneven in a controlled way, with compact counters and expressive shapes that read clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to titles and short bursts of text where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, book or album covers, packaging, and themed social graphics. It works well for Halloween and horror branding, fantasy or folklore-themed projects, and playful “spooky” UI moments in games or interactive media. Use generous sizing and contrast against clean backgrounds to preserve legibility.
The overall tone is eerie and theatrical, suggesting horror, fantasy, and seasonal graphics. Its distressed brush texture adds a handmade, DIY energy that can feel mischievous or ominous depending on color and layout. The letterforms carry a storybook-gothic flavor that reads as dramatic rather than refined.
The design appears intended to mimic bold brush lettering that has been roughed up by wear, scratchy ink, or distressed printing. Its purpose is to deliver instant thematic impact with a handcrafted, slightly menacing edge while remaining readable for display typography.
Uppercase forms are especially emblematic and spiky, while the lowercase keeps a chunky, approachable rhythm with textured bowls and stems. Numerals match the same roughened construction, with distinctive, slightly irregular curves that reinforce the crafted look. The texture is pronounced enough that very small sizes may lose detail, but it contributes strongly to the font’s character in headlines.
