A hand-drawn, all-caps-and-lowercase design with rough, broken contours and subtly wobbling strokes that mimic dry brush or worn printing. Letterforms are mostly narrow and vertical, with angular joins, slightly irregular stem thickness, and inconsistent terminals that create a gritty edge throughout. Counters tend to be compact and somewhat squarish, and the overall rhythm is uneven in a deliberate, organic way, with small variations in width and alignment from glyph to glyph. Numerals follow the same distressed construction, staying simple and upright with a similarly scuffed outline.
Well-suited for short headlines and display settings where texture is an asset: horror and Halloween branding, tabletop or video game titles, haunted-house posters, event flyers, and book or album covers. It can also work for packaging or labels aiming for a rustic, hand-printed feel, especially when paired with simple supporting type for longer copy.
The texture and unevenness give the font a haunted, handmade tone—suggesting folk magic, vintage ephemera, and hand-lettered warnings. It reads as crafty and ominous rather than polished, with a tactile, ink-on-paper feeling that adds tension and atmosphere.
The design appears intended to deliver a legible display face with an intentionally distressed, hand-rendered surface—combining straightforward, upright skeletons with roughened outlines to evoke age, grit, and handmade craft.
In text, the distressed perimeter is consistently present and becomes a defining feature, so clean white space and moderate sizing help keep the internal shapes from closing up. The uppercase set carries the strongest character for titles, while the lowercase maintains the same rough voice with a slightly looser, more handwritten cadence.
