A distressed, hand-drawn serif with irregular stroke edges and a jittery, ink-worn outline. Letterforms are built from simple verticals and small wedge-like serifs, but the contours break and wobble, creating gaps, nicks, and uneven terminals that look like degraded print or scratchy pen work. Curves are lumpy rather than smooth, counters vary from glyph to glyph, and spacing feels intentionally inconsistent for a lively, unstable rhythm. Uppercase and lowercase share the same rough, antiqued texture, and numerals follow the same chipped, uneven construction.
Best suited to short display settings where texture is a feature: Halloween and horror titling, posters and flyers, album/cover art, game or streaming graphics, and themed packaging or labels. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers when you want an intentionally imperfect, grunge-stamped feel rather than clean readability.
The overall tone is oddball and slightly unsettling—more haunted and mischievous than friendly. Its battered texture and twitchy shapes evoke eerie ephemera, low-fi horror props, or hand-made signage meant to feel imperfect and unpredictable.
The design appears intended to mimic an aged, damaged printing or scratchy hand-rendered serif, prioritizing character and atmosphere over typographic regularity. Its controlled structure paired with deliberate erosion suggests a decorative display face meant to inject spooky, off-kilter energy into headings and branding moments.
In the sample text, the distressed edges create a peppered silhouette that becomes more prominent as lines of text accumulate, giving paragraphs a noisy, animated color. The font reads best when allowed some breathing room; at tighter sizes the roughness can visually thicken and reduce clarity.
