A dark, brush-driven display face with heavy strokes that taper sharply into pointed terminals and occasional spur-like notches. Letterforms lean consistently and feel hand-drawn, with uneven stroke edges and a slightly jittery baseline rhythm that adds texture. Counters tend to be compact and irregular (notably in round forms), while verticals often swell and then knife into thin tips. Overall proportions are tight and tall, but widths vary noticeably across characters, reinforcing an improvised, inked look.
Best used as a display font for short headlines, titles, and punchy callouts where its spiky brush terminals and irregular rhythm can be appreciated. It fits horror-leaning campaigns, seasonal Halloween graphics, haunted-attraction branding, spooky game UI headers, and themed packaging or labels. Pair with a restrained sans or readable serif for body text to keep the overall layout legible.
The font projects a spooky, theatrical energy—more haunted funhouse than solemn gothic. Its sharp tips, crooked curves, and animated ink modulation suggest spellbook lettering, Halloween signage, and tongue-in-cheek horror titles. The tone is playful and ominous at once, suited to settings that want a dramatic shiver without taking themselves too seriously.
Designed to emulate expressive brush lettering with sharpened, unsettling terminals and a deliberately imperfect, hand-rendered cadence. The goal appears to be instant thematic signaling—dramatic, eerie, and energetic—while maintaining recognizable letterforms for headline readability.
Uppercase forms read like stylized caps with calligraphic stress, while lowercase keeps the same brush logic with distinctive, angular joins and lively entry/exit strokes. Numerals are bold and stylized with pronounced tapers, matching the expressive, carved-ink silhouette. At small sizes the inner shapes can darken due to tight counters, so it performs best when given room.
