A decorative serif with an organic, hand-cut silhouette and subtly uneven rhythm. Strokes show brush-like modulation with tapered terminals and occasional flared, wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than engineered. Curves are softly lumpy and slightly irregular, giving counters a natural, imperfect shape; joins and corners often resolve into pointed nicks or small spur details. Uppercase forms are broad and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps a readable, sturdy structure with distinctive single-storey shapes and a lively, varied stroke finish. Numerals follow the same chiseled/brushy logic, with angled entry/exit strokes and gently distorted bowls.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where the irregular edge detail can be seen—titles, posters, seasonal promotions, haunted-house branding, game/UI headings, and themed packaging. It can work in brief callouts or pull quotes, but extended body copy will emphasize the rough texture and may reduce comfort at small sizes.
The overall tone is spooky in a storybook way—suggesting old signs, potions labels, and folkloric ephemera rather than pure gore. Its tapering spikes and roughened edges create tension and atmosphere, but the rounded proportions keep it approachable and slightly whimsical.
Likely designed to evoke handcrafted lettering with a haunted, antiquated character—combining brush-like tapering with chiseled serif cues to feel both vintage and uncanny. The goal appears to be strong thematic flavor while preserving enough structure for readable word shapes in headlines.
The texture is consistent across the alphabet, with recurring pointed terminals and small interior nicks that read like ink drag or knife marks. Spacing appears moderately open, helping the irregular outlines stay legible, while the heavier vertical emphasis and sculpted curves keep words visually cohesive in display settings.
