A rough, hand-rendered display face with chunky strokes and uneven, torn-looking contours. Letterforms have jagged terminals and occasional nicks and notches, creating a worn print or carved-ink impression. Proportions are slightly inconsistent with a lively, variable rhythm; curves are lumpy rather than geometric, and joins often pinch or flare like a brush dragged over textured paper. Counters stay generally open, while stems and serifs (where implied) look hacked or chipped rather than cleanly constructed.
Best suited to display settings where texture is an asset: horror and Halloween headlines, fantasy or folklore-themed covers, poster titles, and dramatic packaging or labels. It can also work for game UI or chapter headings when used at moderate-to-large sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels eerie and storybook-like, mixing a haunted-poster energy with handmade craft. Its distressed edges and irregular shapes suggest age, grit, and a touch of mischief, lending an ominous but playful character.
The design appears intended to evoke a distressed, hand-made look—somewhere between rough brush lettering and chipped woodcut—prioritizing atmosphere and silhouette over typographic polish. Its irregular outlines and energetic rhythm aim to quickly signal theme and mood in short, prominent text.
Capitals read as the strongest voice, with emphatic silhouettes and dramatic, rough terminals. The lowercase is more compact and casual, and the numerals follow the same chipped, hand-cut texture, helping the set feel cohesive in headings and short lines. The texture is prominent enough that very small sizes may lose crispness as details merge.
