A condensed, hand-drawn print face with tall proportions and irregular, ink-like outlines. Strokes show visible wobble and slight swelling, with roughened terminals and occasional spur-like flicks that suggest a marker or dry brush on paper. Curves are narrow and pinched, counters are small, and spacing feels uneven in a natural, handwritten way; the overall rhythm is lively rather than geometric. Uppercase forms are tall and slightly quirky, while lowercase is compact with thin, upright stems and small dots on i/j.
Well-suited for display typography in Halloween promotions, spooky invitations, and themed event materials. It also fits illustrated book covers, indie posters, labels, and packaging where a handmade, rustic voice is desired; short headlines and signage benefit most from its narrow footprint and expressive texture.
The font conveys a slightly eerie, folkloric tone—part storybook, part handmade poster. Its scratchy texture and narrow silhouettes create tension and drama, lending an offbeat, magical or haunted flavor without becoming fully distressed or chaotic.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-lettered print with a lightly distressed ink edge, prioritizing character and atmosphere over strict regularity. Its tall, condensed construction supports compact display setting while preserving an intentionally imperfect, human rhythm.
At text sizes the condensed shapes and irregular edges can create dark, busy patches, especially in words with many vertical strokes. It reads best with generous tracking and comfortable line spacing, where the handcrafted quirks have room to breathe.
