A wiry, hand-drawn print face built from narrow, tapered strokes and sharp terminals. Letters lean subtly with an irregular, reverse-italic slant, and the outlines feel knife-cut or brush-flicked, producing pointed joins and occasional hooked endings. Curves are pinched into teardrop-like ovals, counters stay small, and overall spacing is uneven in a deliberate, human rhythm. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with lively stroke modulation and frequent wedge-like tips that add bite to the silhouettes.
Best suited to display uses where character and texture are desirable: horror or Halloween titles, stylized posters, book or game covers, and themed packaging or labels. It can also work for pull quotes, captions, and short UI headings when a handmade, eerie tone is needed.
The font reads as tense and playful at once—like a spooky handwritten caption or a mischievous note. Its scratchy sharpness and jittery rhythm suggest Halloween energy, dark whimsy, and a slightly unhinged, comic-horror tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a strongly characterful, hand-rendered look—combining narrow proportions with sharp, tapered strokes to evoke a scratchy, gothic-leaning mood while keeping letterforms recognizable and readable at headline sizes.
In text settings the narrow forms pack tightly and create a busy, high-frequency texture, especially where repeated vertical strokes occur. The distinctive pointed terminals and pinched bowls make short words and display lines feel expressive, while long paragraphs can feel restless due to the irregular spacing and spiky details.
