A condensed, hand-drawn print with lightly irregular stroke edges and a subtly wavering baseline that gives each line a human rhythm. Strokes show moderate thick–thin variation and occasional swelling at joins, with slightly pinched curves and narrow counters. Terminals often end in blunt, brushy shapes rather than clean cuts, and the overall texture reads as intentionally imperfect and ink-like. Spacing is somewhat uneven in a natural way, and the small letters sit low with compact bowls and modest ascenders/descenders, reinforcing the tight, vertical silhouette.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and atmosphere matter—posters, event promos, horror or fantasy book covers, title treatments, and themed packaging or labels. It can work for brief pull quotes or section heads, but the tight width and rough edges are less ideal for long-form body text.
The overall tone feels eerie and folkloric, like lettering for a gothic fairytale, a haunted house sign, or a Halloween flyer. Its rough, handmade texture adds tension and personality, while the narrow proportions keep the color dark and dramatic on the page.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, hand-inked lettering with a controlled, condensed structure, balancing legibility with expressive roughness. It aims to deliver a distinct, moody character without connecting strokes, making it easy to drop into playful or ominous display typography.
In text, the condensed build creates dense lines and a strong vertical cadence; the irregularities add charm but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals keep the same narrow, hand-inked character, with a simple, classic construction that fits signage and display contexts.
