A hand-drawn print style with tall, condensed proportions and uneven, slightly ragged strokes. Letterforms are built from narrow vertical stems with sharp, knife-like terminals and occasional hooked or notched corners, giving the outlines a deliberately imperfect, sketchy edge. Curves are minimal and often faceted, while bowls and counters stay tight, creating a lean rhythm across words. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, drawn-by-hand consistency rather than strict geometric regularity.
Best suited to display settings where character and texture matter more than long-form comfort: posters and flyers, Halloween or horror-themed promotions, book or chapter titles, game menus, and stylized packaging or labels. It performs well when given breathing room and used at larger sizes to let the irregular edges and pointed terminals read clearly.
The overall tone feels eerie and playful, combining a gothic hint with a homemade, storybook roughness. Its pointed terminals and jittery contours suggest horror, Halloween, and occult-adjacent atmospheres without becoming formal blackletter. The texture reads like inked lettering for a handmade poster or a spooky chapter heading.
The design appears intended to deliver a narrow, hand-lettered look with a spooky, angular edge, evoking inked signage and handcrafted title lettering. Its irregular contours and sharp terminals emphasize personality and atmosphere, aiming for expressive display impact rather than typographic neutrality.
Capitals carry the strongest personality, with exaggerated verticality and more dramatic hooks and corners, while the lowercase keeps a simpler, narrow skeleton that stays readable in short lines. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with open, lean forms that match the font’s scratchy, hand-rendered texture.
