This typeface uses wiry, uneven strokes with jagged terminals and a lightly distressed edge, giving each letter a carved or scratched look. Letterforms are compact and tightly set in overall proportion, with slightly inconsistent widths and irregular curves that keep the rhythm lively. Stems tend to be straight and narrow while bowls and counters remain fairly open, and the contrast comes primarily from pressure-like swelling and tapering rather than precise modulation. The silhouette is bold in texture but not heavy, with noticeable wobble and roughness that reads as intentionally hand-made.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are more important than smooth readability—such as horror or Halloween titling, posters, event flyers, game UI headings, and themed packaging. It can also work for chapter headers or pull quotes in storybook or folklore-inspired layouts where a hand-crafted, slightly unsettling voice is desired.
The overall tone is eerie and rustic—suggestive of folklore, haunted props, or handmade signage. Its imperfect outlines and scratchy finish create tension and atmosphere, balancing playfulness with a slightly menacing edge. The result feels theatrical and tactile, like ink dragged on rough paper or letters cut with a blade.
The design appears intended to emulate informal, hand-drawn print lettering with a deliberately rough, distressed finish. Its narrow, energetic forms and scratchy terminals prioritize mood and character, aiming to add a handmade, spooky theatricality to display typography.
Capitals have a display-like presence with irregular verticals and occasional exaggerated joins, while lowercase forms maintain the same choppy texture for consistent color. Numerals follow the same hand-cut logic, with quirky curves and uneven stroke endings that reinforce the distressed character.
