A jagged, hand-rendered display face with rough brush edges and visibly uneven stroke boundaries. Strokes show pronounced tapering and abrupt terminals, with occasional hooked or torn-looking endings that create a scratchy silhouette. Letterforms are loosely constructed and slightly irregular in proportion, with a lively baseline rhythm and inconsistent counters that reinforce a handmade, inked feel. Numerals and caps carry the same rugged texture, keeping a cohesive, gritty presence across the set.
Well-suited to horror and suspense titling, Halloween graphics, haunted event promotion, and eerie editorial headlines. It also fits game UI headers, album/track titles, and packaging that wants a rough, handcrafted menace. Use at medium-to-large sizes where the ragged edges and tapered terminals can read clearly.
The overall tone feels ominous and story-driven—like distressed lettering pulled from a folk-horror poster or a handmade warning sign. Its rough, ink-blotted texture and sharp tapers suggest tension and unease while still staying readable at display sizes. The character is more ritualistic and rustic than glossy or cinematic, leaning toward creepy atmosphere rather than overt gore.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, expressive brush lettering with distressed ink edges, trading typographic polish for atmosphere. Its irregular construction and sharp tapers are geared toward creating a spooky, handmade impression that feels raw and immediate in display settings.
The texture reads as dry-brush or distressed ink, creating strong contrast between thick strokes and hairline flicks. Spacing appears naturally uneven in the sample text, which enhances the organic look but can make long passages feel busy; it works best when allowed some air through generous tracking and line spacing.
