A condensed, hand-drawn display face with slender proportions and visibly uneven stroke edges. Strokes taper to sharp points and wedge-like terminals, with occasional ink-like blobs and roughness that create a distressed, cut-and-ink texture. Curves and bowls are slightly lopsided and irregular, while verticals dominate the rhythm; counters stay relatively open despite the narrow build. The overall construction is consistent enough for lines of text, but intentionally keeps a handmade wobble and scratchy contour.
Best suited to display settings where atmosphere is the priority: horror titles, Halloween promotions, fantasy/occult theming, and dramatic poster or cover typography. It can also work for short UI labels in games or themed experiences when used at sizes large enough to preserve the rough contour detail.
The font reads as eerie and theatrical, with a classic horror/occult flavor rather than a clean calligraphic elegance. Its spiky terminals and rough outlines evoke hand-lettered signage, haunted story titles, and vintage spooky ephemera, giving it an expressive, mischievous tone.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, inked hand lettering with sharpened, gothic-leaning forms and a deliberately distressed edge. The narrow build and pointed terminals concentrate visual tension, aiming for instant mood and recognizability in headlines.
In the sample text, the condensed width and sharp terminals create a strong vertical texture and a slightly restless color across a line. Numerals follow the same jagged, tapered logic, helping the set feel cohesive for headlines and short phrases.
