A rough, hand-rendered display face with thick, low-contrast strokes and visibly irregular edges, as if drawn with a dry brush or marker on textured paper. Curves are lumpy and slightly flattened, counters are uneven, and terminals often end in blunt, blotted shapes rather than clean cuts. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph, creating a variable rhythm; round forms like O and 0 feel imperfect and wobbly, while verticals (I, l, 1) stay narrow but still show edge chatter. Overall spacing reads open enough for short text, but the texture and wavering outlines dominate the silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where texture can read clearly: horror or Halloween titles, haunted-house promos, festival posters, album/cover art, tabletop or video game UI headers, and spooky packaging or labels. It works especially well for short phrases, chapter heads, and signage-style typography where an intentionally handmade, distressed voice is desired.
The font conveys an eerie, crafty tone—more hand-made and occult than slick or cinematic. Its blotchy contours and jittery rhythm suggest spellbook lettering, haunted signage, or a distressed print pulled from an old poster, lending a playful-but-unsettling character.
The design appears intended to mimic improvised, inked lettering with controlled inconsistency—prioritizing atmosphere and texture over typographic precision. Its uneven contours and variable proportions are tuned to create a convincingly eerie, hand-crafted presence in headlines and themed graphics.
The numerals and lowercase maintain the same distressed texture, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive. The sample text shows the roughness remains consistent at larger sizes, where the irregular stroke edges become a key visual feature rather than a flaw.
