A wiry, hand-drawn roman with irregular, roughened outlines and intermittent ink blots that create a worn, printed feel. Strokes taper and swell unpredictably, producing lively contrast and a slightly shaky rhythm, while counters remain mostly open and legible. Terminals are blunt or softly frayed rather than crisp, and curves show subtle wobble that keeps the texture consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Overall proportions are modestly narrow with uneven glyph widths and spacing that reinforces the handmade character.
Best suited to display settings where texture is an asset: posters, book or album covers, theatrical promos, and themed packaging or labels. It can work for short text blocks and pull quotes when sized generously, but the irregular stroke edges and spacing are most effective in headlines and titling.
The font conveys an aged, tactile tone—part old paper imprint, part quick brush or pen sketch. Its distressed texture reads as rustic and slightly ominous, lending a storybook or vintage-horror mood without becoming fully illegible.
Likely designed to mimic worn ink and hand-rendered lettering, prioritizing atmosphere and tactile character over mechanical precision. The consistent roughness across the set suggests a deliberate attempt to evoke aged printing or distressed calligraphy for themed, narrative-driven design.
The uppercase has a simple, inscription-like construction, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes and spacing that feel intentionally imperfect. Numerals follow the same rough, slightly blotty treatment, helping mixed alphanumeric settings look cohesive.
