A rough, brush-like display face with sharp, tapered terminals and uneven stroke edges that suggest quick, dry-ink lettering. Forms are generally upright and open, with noticeable stroke contrast created by thick fills and thin, scratchy cut-ins along curves and joins. Counters tend to be rounded but irregular, and many letters carry small spikes or knife-like flares at corners and stroke starts. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, hand-rendered rhythm rather than strict geometric consistency.
Best suited to short display settings where the rough edges and tapered spikes can read clearly—posters, title cards, packaging accents, and event graphics with a dark or seasonal theme. It also works well for logo-like wordmarks when an intentionally handmade, unsettling voice is desired.
The overall tone is dark and theatrical, with a carved-and-slashed texture that reads as ominous and supernatural. Its jagged energy and inky roughness evoke horror titles, haunted signage, and spellbook ephemera—dramatic rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-painted or brush-lettered forms that have been distressed and sharpened into a spooky, blade-edged silhouette. The goal is immediate mood and impact, prioritizing characterful texture and dramatic terminals over neutral readability.
The texture is baked into the outlines, so edges appear intentionally distressed at both large and medium sizes. Numerals and capitals match the same scratchy, pointed language, keeping the set cohesive for headline use and short bursts of copy.
