A jagged, hand-inked serif style with visibly distressed outlines and uneven stroke edges. Letterforms show high contrast with abrupt tapers and occasional blobby joins, creating a rough printed/brush-drawn texture. Serifs are irregular and sometimes wedge-like, counters are slightly lumpy, and curves wobble subtly, giving the face an intentionally unstable rhythm. Spacing and widths feel loosely controlled, reinforcing a handmade, imperfect look across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and mood matter more than typographic neutrality—titles, posters, packaging accents, and branding for horror, fantasy, or occult-themed projects. It can work for pull quotes or headings in editorial layouts when set large enough for the distressed detail to remain clear.
The overall tone is gritty and theatrical, with a haunted, folklore-like personality. Its distressed texture reads as worn, smeared ink—suggesting age, mystery, and a slightly ominous mood while still remaining legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to mimic distressed ink or rough brush lettering with a serif backbone—combining classic letterform cues with deliberate degradation to create atmosphere. The goal is expressive impact and themed storytelling rather than pristine repetition.
Uppercase forms carry the strongest character through uneven terminals and torn-looking edges, while lowercase keeps simpler silhouettes but retains the same roughened perimeter. Numerals echo the same brushy distress, with noticeable irregularities that add texture rather than strict geometric consistency.
