A highly irregular display face built from chunky, ink-like silhouettes with torn, jagged contours and frequent sharp spikes. Strokes vary dramatically in thickness within and across glyphs, producing a blotty, carved-out look where counters often feel pinched or uneven. The baseline and cap alignment read generally steady, but letter widths and internal shapes shift noticeably, creating a lurching rhythm. Terminals tend to end in points or smears rather than clean cuts, and many letters show asymmetric, distressed edges that emphasize a handmade, non-geometric construction.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as titles, posters, cover art, and event graphics where texture and mood are primary. It works especially well for spooky, offbeat, or experimental themes, and benefits from generous sizing and spacing to keep the irregular forms readable.
The tone is weird and unsettling in a playful way—like hand-cut shapes, ink spills, or distressed signage. Its rough texture and unpredictable rhythm suggest mischief, danger, and a DIY theatricality rather than polish or refinement.
The design appears intended to foreground texture and character over typographic neutrality, using distressed, inkblot-like shapes to create a one-off display voice. The consistent roughness across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals suggests a deliberate system for expressive, mood-forward typography.
In the sample text, large black masses and irregular counters make word shapes distinctive, while the most fragmented letters can become ambiguous at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same blotty, cutout character, staying expressive rather than strictly utilitarian.
