A hand-drawn, calligraphic display face with angular construction and a rough, ink-brushed edge. Strokes show subtle swelling and tapering, with occasional hooked terminals and wedge-like finishes that give the letters a carved, slightly torn silhouette. Spacing and letter widths vary noticeably, creating an uneven rhythm; counters can be tight and irregular, and joins often pinch into sharp points. Overall proportions feel tall and condensed, with a compact lowercase and a small, delicate x-height relative to ascenders and capitals.
Best suited to short display settings such as posters, album art, book or chapter titles, game/film branding, and packaging where the rough calligraphic texture can read clearly. It can also work for themed signage or pull quotes when set large with extra spacing, but it is less appropriate for long passages or small UI text due to its irregular stroke edges and tight counters.
The texture and jagged pen-logic evoke dark fairytale and vintage horror poster cues, while the uneven rhythm keeps it informal and human. It reads as dramatic and slightly ominous, with a handmade charm that suggests old-world signage or illustrated book titling rather than polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctly handmade, inked look with gothic-leaning drama, prioritizing atmosphere and character over uniformity. Its narrow, angular forms and textured outlines aim to create immediate impact in titling and themed display applications.
Capitals and numerals carry the strongest personality, with pronounced angularity and occasional asymmetry that becomes more apparent at larger sizes. The face benefits from generous tracking and simple backgrounds, as the textured edges and narrow inner spaces can visually clump in dense settings.
