A rough, hand-drawn display face with irregular, wavy outlines and softly cornered forms that feel sketched rather than constructed. Strokes maintain a generally even thickness but show constant micro-variation and edge chatter, creating a jittery contour around each letter. Proportions and widths shift noticeably from glyph to glyph, with narrow, spindly stems in some characters and more boxed, swollen counters in others. Curves and diagonals are slightly unstable, and terminals tend to taper or hook, reinforcing an organic, distressed silhouette across the set.
Best suited to short headlines and expressive packaging where texture is a feature—such as horror or fantasy titles, game menus, event posters, album art, and illustrated book covers. It can also work for themed labels or signage-style graphics where a hand-rendered, weathered look is desirable, rather than for dense body copy.
The texture and uneven rhythm give the font a moody, uncanny tone—suggesting aged ink, worn signage, or arcane markings. It reads as intentionally imperfect and characterful, balancing playful oddness with a subtly ominous, story-driven atmosphere.
Designed to simulate an imperfect hand-inked or worn-printed alphabet, prioritizing atmosphere and tactile edge texture over strict typographic regularity. The goal appears to be a distinctive, narrative-driven voice that feels aged, handmade, and slightly unsettling.
In longer text the consistent outline wobble creates a strong surface texture, while individual letter idiosyncrasies add a crafted, improvisational feel. The numerals and lowercase follow the same rough contour language, helping the set feel cohesive even with varied widths and shapes.
