A rough, brush-rendered display face with sharply tapered terminals, uneven stroke edges, and occasional ink-bleed textures that create a worn, torn-paper silhouette. Letterforms are upright with lively, irregular rhythm and noticeably varied stroke thickness within each glyph, giving the set a hand-painted feel. Counters are generally open and simple, while curves and joins show intentional wobble and roughness that increases character at larger sizes. Numerals match the same irregular, inked construction and sit comfortably with the uppercase and lowercase.
Well-suited to short, punchy setting such as titles, headers, packaging callouts, and thematic branding where texture is an asset. It works particularly well for seasonal or narrative contexts—horror, gothic, fantasy, and occult-inspired materials—where a hand-inked, distressed voice helps set the scene.
The overall tone is eerie and theatrical—suggesting folklore, dark fantasy, and handmade signage rather than polished editorial typography. Its distressed edges and inky contrast add a sense of age, grit, and mischief, making the text feel conjured or scrawled rather than typeset.
Likely designed to deliver an expressive, brush-painted headline style with deliberate wear and irregularity, prioritizing mood and personality over neutral readability. The consistent rough edge treatment across capitals, lowercase, and figures suggests a cohesive texture-first display system for themed graphics.
The texture and edge breakup become a primary visual feature, so spacing and word shapes read best when given room; dense settings may amplify the roughness and reduce clarity. Uppercase forms feel especially emblematic and poster-ready, while the lowercase maintains a casual, handwritten energy.
