A stylized display face with rough, inked contours and subtly uneven stroke widths that mimic a brush or distressed pen. Letterforms are upright with slightly irregular proportions and a lively, variable rhythm across the line, giving words a hand-made feel. Terminals often sharpen into points or hooked tips, while bowls and counters stay fairly open, keeping the shapes readable despite the jagged edges. Curves are slightly lumpy and organic rather than geometric, and joins can look carved or chipped, reinforcing the distressed texture.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its textured edges and spiky terminals can be appreciated: film or podcast titles, Halloween and event promotions, game titles and UI headings, themed packaging, and chapter or section headers. It can also work for pull quotes or signage-style lines, but the distressed detailing makes it less appropriate for long-form body copy.
The overall tone is eerie and theatrical, with a playful, storybook darkness. Pointed terminals and ragged silhouettes suggest folklore, curses, and haunted signage rather than pure gore, lending it a mischievous occult character.
The design appears intended to deliver a hand-crafted, haunted display voice—combining readable, familiar letter structures with distressed contours and sharp, animated terminals to evoke suspense and supernatural storytelling.
The font maintains consistent texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with distinctive, characterful capitals and slightly more compact, bouncy lowercase. Numerals follow the same distressed, tapered treatment and read well at display sizes where the rough details can show.
