A rough, ink-brushed display face with jagged, irregular outlines and frequent interior voids that feel like dry-brush skips or worn printing. Strokes alternate between swollen blots and pinched, frayed terminals, creating lively high-contrast texture within otherwise simple, upright constructions. Counters are often partially closed or unevenly carved, and curves show wobbly contour tracking that keeps each glyph feeling hand-drawn rather than mechanically uniform. Overall proportions are fairly compact with a steady x-height, while individual letters vary slightly in width and rhythm for an intentionally imperfect, organic set.
Best suited for short, punchy settings where texture is an asset: posters, headlines, event flyers, album/playlist art, and themed packaging. It can also work for logos or badges that want a handmade, distressed stamp/brush feel. For paragraphs, larger sizes and generous tracking help maintain clarity as the rough edges and ink breaks accumulate.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade energy—part street-poster and part storybook spooky. Its distressed brush texture reads energetic and mischievous, with a slightly eerie edge suited to Halloween or dark-humor themes. The lively wobble and ink splatter character keep it informal and attention-grabbing rather than polished.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering or degraded ink reproduction, combining simple, readable letterforms with deliberate wear, wobble, and blotting. The goal is expressive texture and personality—an imperfect, handcrafted look that stands out in themed and display-driven typography.
In longer text the heavy texture becomes the dominant feature, producing strong color on the page and a deliberately noisy baseline/edge rhythm. Round forms like O/Q/0 show pronounced inner chipping and uneven weight distribution, while diagonals and joins (V/W/M/N) emphasize brush drag and fraying. Numerals share the same distressed treatment and look poster-oriented rather than tabular or strictly uniform.
