A jagged, hand-drawn display face with irregular stroke widths and sharply tapered terminals that frequently flare into thorn-like points. Letterforms are narrow-to-average in overall footprint but vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, creating a restless rhythm and an intentionally uneven color on the line. Curves are slightly wobbly and asymmetrical, counters are loosely formed, and joins can look pinched or torn, as if painted quickly with a dry brush. The lowercase is small relative to the uppercase, and numerals share the same scratchy, improvised construction.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror titles, Halloween promotions, haunted-attraction posters, game branding, or album art where texture and atmosphere matter more than smooth readability. It can also work for pull quotes or chapter openers when set large with generous spacing.
The texture and spiking terminals give the font an ominous, supernatural tone—more like inked talismans or frantic notebook scrawls than polished signage. Its uneven cadence reads as tense and unsettled, lending a sense of danger and theatrical suspense.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-inked, occult or horror ephemera through scratchy brush texture, sharp tapering, and deliberately irregular proportions. Its emphasis is on mood and immediacy rather than typographic neutrality.
In running text, the irregular spacing and variable letter widths create a lively but volatile baseline and word shape, making it most effective at larger sizes. Capitals have a strong, emblematic presence, while the lowercase introduces a more furtive, scribbled character that can increase the sense of unease.
