A hand-rendered, brush-ink display face with narrow-to-broad stroke modulation and irregular, slightly ragged edges that mimic dry-brush drag and pooling ink. Letterforms are upright but loosely constructed, with uneven terminals, occasional hook-like flicks, and subtly wobbly verticals that create a restless rhythm. Counters are generally open and rounded, while joins and corners often soften into blunted curves rather than crisp geometry. Capitals feel tall and slightly narrow, and the lowercase shows a comparatively short x-height with simple, single-storey shapes and minimal detailing.
Best suited to display settings where texture and mood are primary—horror and Halloween posters, occult-leaning branding, game and film titles, book covers, and event graphics. It also works well for short bursts of copy (taglines, pull quotes, packaging callouts) when you want a hand-painted, uncanny feel.
The overall tone is eerie and playful at once—suggesting folklore, haunted ephemera, and handmade signage. Its uneven strokes and inky tapering give it an unsettled, nocturnal character that reads as intentionally imperfect and atmospheric rather than polished.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-painted lettering with an inky, slightly distressed surface—prioritizing atmosphere and character over typographic neutrality. Its inconsistent stroke endings and lively width variation aim to create a convincingly handmade, spooky display voice.
The numerals and punctuation carry the same organic brush behavior, with visible variance in stroke thickness and terminal shapes across the set. At larger sizes, the textured edges and ink-like modulation become a key part of the personality, while smaller sizes may emphasize its jittery rhythm and irregular widths.
