A heavy, ink-saturated display face with soft, rounded forms and aggressively irregular contours. Strokes look brushy and blotted, with wavy edges, occasional notches, and uneven terminals that create a worn-print or hand-painted effect. Counters are generally small and sometimes partially pinched, while overall silhouettes stay simple and legible. Spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, reinforcing a handmade rhythm rather than a mechanically consistent texture.
Best suited to short headlines, titles, and branding moments where texture and attitude matter—event posters, Halloween or spooky-themed graphics, game or comic titling, packaging accents, and social media thumbnails. It will be most effective at larger sizes where the edge irregularities read as intentional character rather than noise.
The font reads as mischievous and slightly eerie, like lettering from a horror-comedy poster or a DIY punk flyer. Its rough texture and inflated shapes give it an energetic, messy charm that feels loud, informal, and attention-seeking.
Likely designed to deliver an immediate distressed, hand-made impact with bold shapes that stay readable while projecting a rough, playful menace. The variable rhythm and inked edges aim to mimic imperfect brush lettering or messy screen-printing for expressive display typography.
The distressed treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with especially organic waviness in vertical strokes and rounded bowls. The texture is more about soft blobs and rough edges than sharp scratches, so it feels inky and wet rather than cracked or eroded.
