A stylized, calligraphic display face built from sharply tapered strokes and dramatic thick–thin modulation. Letterforms lean forward with a quick, brush-like rhythm, combining long pointed terminals with occasional wedge-like entry strokes and subtly ragged edges that suggest ink drag. Counters are compact and irregular, and widths fluctuate noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating an animated texture in words. Numerals and capitals echo the same blade-like forms, with tight joins and pronounced, hooked curves that keep the silhouette lively and a bit unstable.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror titles, chapter headings, poster headlines, game or film branding, and seasonal/event graphics where texture and mood are more important than sustained readability. It can also work for logo marks or packaging that wants a handcrafted, ominous edge.
The overall tone feels occult and unsettling, like hand-lettered signage for a haunted attraction or a cursed storybook. Its pointed tips and nervous curves convey tension and mischief rather than elegance, leaning into a theatrical, supernatural mood.
The design appears intended to mimic expressive brush lettering with sharpened, thorny terminals, prioritizing atmosphere and silhouette over smooth regularity. Its variable widths and jagged details seem deliberately tuned to create an unsettling, hand-inked presence in display typography.
Spacing in the samples reads intentionally uneven, amplifying a hand-rendered feel; the jagged terminals and narrow internal spaces become more prominent at smaller sizes. The uppercase set carries the strongest character with exaggerated spikes and curved stems, while the lowercase keeps a similar brush logic but reads more sketchy and irregular in running text.
