A hand-drawn print face with narrow, vertically oriented proportions and uneven, brush-like stroke edges. Forms are built from slightly wobbly stems and tapered terminals, with rough contours that suggest dry-brush or ink-bleed texture. The rhythm is lively and irregular: curves look pinched and asymmetric, counters vary in size, and widths shift noticeably from glyph to glyph. Capitals are tall and angular with occasional flared or thorn-like details, while lowercase stays compact with simplified bowls and short ascenders/descenders.
Best used for display typography such as horror or mystery titles, poster headlines, packaging accents, and themed promotions where texture and character are desirable. It can also work for game UI labels or chapter openers, but extended small-size text may lose clarity due to the intentionally irregular outlines and tight proportions.
The overall tone feels eerie and handmade, with a scratchy, slightly distressed character that reads as gothic-adjacent without becoming formal blackletter. It carries a folk-horror and storybook mood—playful but unsettling—well suited to dramatic or mysterious messaging.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, expressive hand lettering with an aged or distressed ink texture, prioritizing atmosphere over strict consistency. Its narrow stance and tall capitals help create dramatic, vertical silhouettes that stand out in short, impactful phrases.
The set favors sharp joins and pointed terminals over smooth, geometric construction, which boosts personality but can introduce uneven color in longer passages. Numerals and punctuation keep the same rough, inked texture, helping headings and short lines feel cohesive.
