A condensed, hand-drawn print face with tall proportions and heavy, inky strokes. Letterforms are mostly monoline in feel, with visibly irregular edges and slight wobble that suggests a marker or brush dragged on absorbent paper. Counters are compact and sometimes pinched, terminals tend to be blunt, and curves look slightly squared-off, creating a rhythmic, stamped-but-not-perfect texture across lines of text. Spacing and widths vary subtly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handmade character while remaining readable in short settings.
This font is best suited to display roles where texture and personality are an asset: headlines, poster typography, cover art, and themed packaging or labels. It can also work for short quotes or taglines when you want a condensed, attention-grabbing line with a rough, handcrafted finish.
The overall tone is eerie and theatrical, with a distressed, old-poster flavor that reads as playful rather than truly menacing. Its narrow, dark silhouettes and rough contours evoke pulp covers, haunted-house signage, and campy horror titles.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, hand-lettered signage with a deliberate roughness—capturing the energy of drawn strokes while keeping a consistent, condensed structure for strong display impact.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent narrow footprint, helping all-caps headlines feel dense and punchy. Numerals and punctuation match the same rough, inked texture, so mixed text keeps a unified, handmade voice.
