A wiry, hand-drawn display face with tapered strokes and sharp, blade-like terminals. Letterforms lean forward with a brisk, handwritten rhythm, combining thick-to-thin contrast with slightly irregular curves and stroke joins that feel inked rather than geometric. Caps are tall and narrow with occasional flared tops and hooked endings, while lowercase stays compact with small counters and simplified, single-storey forms. Numerals are similarly slim and gestural, with open shapes and pointed turns that keep the texture lively and slightly unpredictable.
Works best at display sizes for titles, chapter heads, and short callouts where its spiky terminals and contrast can read clearly. It fits horror and Halloween promotions, dark-fantasy game UI headings, spooky packaging accents, and illustrated editorial where a handmade, unsettling voice is desired.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, suggesting spellbook lettering, haunted signage, and folklore titles. Its prickly silhouettes and ink-worn movement create a sense of tension and mischief—more eerie charm than gore—suited to playful horror and dark fantasy moods.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, inked calligraphy with sharpened terminals and an intentionally imperfect rhythm, trading neutrality for personality. Its forms aim to evoke spooky storytelling and occult ephemera while remaining legible for short headline text.
Stroke endings frequently resolve into fine points or small teardrop-like bulges, creating a flickering texture across lines of text. Spacing appears intentionally uneven in places to preserve the handmade feel, and the forward slant enhances the sense of motion and suspense.
