This typeface uses chunky, hand-drawn forms with sharp, wedge-like terminals and frequent tapered points that feel cut or carved. Strokes are generally heavy with subtle modulation, and many glyphs show uneven edges and asymmetrical joins that create an intentionally irregular rhythm. Counters are simple and open, while curves are slightly squashed and angularized, giving rounds like O, C, and G a faceted, off-kilter presence. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably from character to character, reinforcing a handmade, jittery texture in words and lines.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and personality are desirable—seasonal Halloween promotions, haunted house flyers, horror or fantasy title treatments, and playful spooky packaging. It can also work for game UI headers or chapter cards, where the irregular rhythm adds character without requiring extended reading.
The letterforms project an eerie, theatrical tone—more mischievous than purely grim—through their jagged tips and uneven silhouettes. It reads like a stylized “haunted” display face: energetic, a little chaotic, and built to suggest suspense, folklore, or camp-horror atmosphere rather than restraint or formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a handcrafted spooky voice through angular, tapered strokes and irregular proportions, mimicking gouged ink or cut shapes. Its emphasis is on silhouette and texture over neutrality, aiming for immediate thematic impact in headlines and themed compositions.
In the sample text, the texture is high-contrast at the word-shape level: tall ascenders and deep, pointed descenders create a spiky skyline, and repeated angled terminals produce a consistent scratchy cadence. Numerals follow the same cut-paper logic, with sharp turns and exaggerated hooks that keep the set visually unified.
