A heavy, hand-drawn display face with irregular, blobby strokes and softened corners that mimic a loaded marker or brush. Letterforms have uneven contour wobble, slightly inconsistent stem thickness, and occasional pinched joins that create a subtle drip/taper feel without sharp spurs. Counters tend to be small and organic, with rounded apertures and a generally compact, chunky silhouette. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, reinforcing an improvised, analog rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short headlines and display copy where texture and atmosphere matter most—posters, seasonal promotions, haunted house or horror event collateral, title cards, and game or stream graphics. It can also work for labels and packaging that benefit from a handmade, ominous voice, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is spooky in a lo-fi, storybook way—more haunted handmade signage than slick cinematic horror. Its imperfect edges and lumpy silhouettes add nervous energy and a slightly mischievous, campy creepiness. The texture reads like something scrawled in ink for a warning label, folklore poster, or eerie children’s tale.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate spooky character through an intentionally imperfect, inked construction—prioritizing mood and handcrafted texture over strict typographic regularity. Its consistent wobble and chunky forms suggest a goal of readable-yet-uneasy lettering for thematic display use.
In the sample text, the weight and dark color create strong impact, but the irregular outlines and tight counters suggest it will read best at larger sizes. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same wobbly construction, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case settings.
