A rough, hand-rendered print style with brushy, ink-like strokes and visibly irregular contours. Letterforms are condensed with tall proportions, narrow counters, and a slightly uneven baseline that reinforces the handmade rhythm. Strokes show strong thick–thin shifts and tapered terminals, with occasional blobby joins and torn-looking edges that suggest quick, loaded-brush marks. Overall spacing is tight and inconsistent in an intentional way, producing a lively, jittery texture across lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where texture and personality matter more than smooth readability—such as horror or Halloween titles, event posters, punk/metal or experimental album art, and game or film graphics. It also works for short packaging callouts, stickers, and social graphics that benefit from a distressed, hand-painted voice.
The font reads as eerie and gritty, with a scratchy, ink-smeared character that feels haunted and DIY. Its uneven shapes and sharp notches create a tense, mischievous energy reminiscent of horror titling, Halloween ephemera, and lo-fi poster lettering.
Designed to emulate quick brush lettering with imperfect edges and strong contrast, aiming for a raw, gritty presence that feels handmade and slightly unsettling. The condensed structure supports bold, vertical headline composition while keeping the overall texture active and expressive.
Uppercase forms are especially angular and dramatic, while lowercase stays simple and compact, helping mixed-case text keep a hand-lettered feel without becoming cursive. Numerals match the same rough construction and tapering strokes, maintaining consistency in tone for headlines and short callouts.
