A rough, hand-rendered display face with blunt, irregular strokes and visibly uneven edges, as if painted with a dry brush or loaded marker. Counters are small and sometimes pinched, while terminals taper and flick into sharp points, creating a restless silhouette. Proportions are compact with a low x-height and slightly inconsistent widths across letters, giving the line a lively, improvised rhythm. Overall spacing reads tight and dense, with strong black shapes that hold up well at larger sizes.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and personality are an advantage: horror and thriller titles, Halloween or haunted-attraction promotions, game splash screens, band/album artwork, and punchy editorial headings. It can work in brief lines of copy at large sizes, but the rough edges and tight counters make it less appropriate for long-form text or small UI labels.
The letterforms project a tense, uncanny tone—more folk-horror and occult poster than polished gothic. Its jittery contours and spiky terminals feel animated and unsettled, suggesting hand-made signage, spells, or warnings. The result is expressive and theatrical, with a distinctly nocturnal mood.
The design appears intended to mimic spontaneous, hand-painted lettering with a controlled amount of distortion—prioritizing atmosphere over neutrality. Its sharp tapers and irregular rhythm aim to create a spooky, handmade voice that feels immediate and slightly unsettling.
Capitals and lowercase share the same carved/painted texture, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive. Numerals match the same blunt, uneven construction, keeping the set visually consistent for titles that include dates or episode numbers.
