A jagged, hand-rendered display face with irregular stroke edges and pronounced tapering terminals. Letterforms are loosely serifed through flared, brush-like ends rather than consistent bracketed serifs, creating a scratchy, calligraphic texture. Curves (C, O, G) feel slightly wobbly and asymmetrical, while verticals vary in thickness with abrupt thins and swelling joins, producing a tense, uneven rhythm. Proportions are open and airy overall, with notably narrow counters in some lowercase forms and occasional exaggerated strokes that give certain letters a heavier presence.
Works best as a display font for titles and short phrases in posters, book covers, packaging, and event collateral where atmosphere matters more than typographic neutrality. It’s well suited to horror, dark fantasy, and seasonal themes, as well as game/UI title treatments and branding that wants a handcrafted, arcane feel. For readability, use at larger sizes and avoid dense paragraph settings.
The tone reads unsettling and theatrical, like inked lettering from a gothic folktale or a hand-cut title card. Its nervous outlines and sharp, thorn-like terminals suggest mystery and menace without becoming fully illegible. The overall impression is ritualistic and vintage-horror, with a playful handmade edge that can lean either whimsical or ominous depending on setting and color.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-inked lettering with roughened contours and blade-like tapers to evoke unease and old-world mystique. By combining wide, open shapes with inconsistent stroke behavior and subtle pseudo-serif flares, it aims to deliver a distinctive, spooky personality for attention-grabbing headlines.
Uppercase forms are more monumental and varied in silhouette, while lowercase maintains a simpler, handwritten construction; this contrast adds character but can create uneven color in longer passages. The numerals share the same tapered, hand-inked logic, with especially distinctive 2 and 7 shapes. Spacing appears naturally uneven, reinforcing the crafted look and making it best suited to looser tracking or larger sizes.
