A slanted, calligraphic display face with sharp wedge terminals and irregular, brush-cut contours. Strokes expand and pinch unpredictably, creating a jagged rhythm with frequent ink-like notches and pointed joins. Counters are small and occasionally asymmetric, while many letters show hooked or blade-like serifs that suggest quick, pressured pen movement. The overall texture is lively and uneven, with noticeable per-glyph width variation that enhances a handmade, cut-stroke feel.
Best used at display sizes for titles, chapter heads, posters, packaging, and event promotion where texture and mood are more important than long-form readability. It works well for horror and fantasy branding, haunted attraction materials, and game/stream overlays that need a quick hit of menace and drama. In running text, it is more effective in short bursts such as pull quotes, labels, or menu headings.
The font conveys an ominous, spellbook-like tone—more cursed manuscript than polished signage. Its tapered points and erratic modulation add tension and unease, giving text a theatrical, supernatural energy. The mood reads as darkly playful rather than purely grotesque, suitable for eerie storytelling and occult-flavored theming.
This design appears intended to simulate a sinister, hand-rendered script with blade-like terminals and uneven ink behavior, delivering strong atmosphere with minimal ornament. The controlled slant and consistent taper language keep it cohesive while preserving a rough, haunted personality for themed display typography.
Uppercase forms feel tall and expressive, while the lowercase stays compact with a notably small x-height, increasing the contrast between capitals and the body of text. Numerals follow the same sharp, chiseled logic, maintaining the spooky texture in mixed content. The slant and aggressive terminals can reduce clarity at small sizes, especially in dense lines.
