A rough, hand-rendered display face with irregular brush-ink contours and pronounced edge texture. Strokes show strong contrast and frequent tapering, with terminals that fray into sharp points or slight drips, creating a distressed silhouette. Letterforms are loosely constructed with uneven curves and variable stroke widths, producing a lively, inconsistent rhythm that feels intentionally unrefined. Counters tend to be open and organic rather than geometric, and overall spacing reads loose, helping the busy outlines stay legible at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact setting such as horror or thriller titles, Halloween campaigns, haunted-attraction materials, and dramatic poster headlines. It also fits game UI moments like chapter cards, quest titles, or splash screens where a gritty, ominous tone is needed, and works well for album/mixtape art in darker genres.
The font conveys an eerie, unsettling mood through scratchy edges, spiky terminals, and inky irregularities. Its imperfect, handmade texture suggests horror signage, occult ephemera, or a hastily painted warning—expressive rather than polite or neutral.
The design appears intended to mimic rough brush lettering and distressed ink to produce a spooky, hand-made voice. Its inconsistent stroke behavior and jagged terminals prioritize atmosphere and character over typographic neutrality, targeting display use where texture and tension are part of the message.
The numerals and lowercase maintain the same distressed brush character as the capitals, with slightly wobbly stems and uneven bowls that reinforce a handcrafted look. The texture is visually prominent, so the face reads best when the roughness can be seen rather than smoothed away by small sizes or low-contrast settings.
