A condensed, high-contrast display face with irregular, distressed contours and a loosely hand-inked rhythm. Strokes taper abruptly and break into sharp burrs, giving many terminals a clawed or brush-drag finish. Counters are generally open and legible, but interior shapes show occasional nicks and uneven curvature, creating a textured silhouette across words. The overall construction reads as upright with a mostly consistent baseline, while widths and curves vary enough to feel handmade rather than geometric.
Best suited for short headlines, titles, and thematic branding where texture is part of the message—event posters, seasonal campaigns, horror-comedy graphics, book covers, and packaging accents. It can work for pull quotes or subheads in larger sizes, but the distressed detailing will compete with long-form readability at small text sizes.
The texture and spiky edge behavior project a spooky, slightly chaotic tone—more playful horror than brutal. It suggests aged print, haunted signage, or DIY poster lettering, with a whimsical undertone that keeps it from feeling overly aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, attention-grabbing display voice with built-in distress and hand-rendered energy. Its controlled structure paired with intentionally rough edges suggests a font meant to evoke worn ink, spooky atmosphere, and handcrafted character without sacrificing basic legibility.
Uppercase forms stay relatively simple and condensed, while lowercase introduces more personality through uneven bowls, hooked terminals, and occasional exaggerated descenders. Numerals share the same ragged, ink-worn finish and maintain strong recognition at display sizes.
