A jagged, hand-drawn display face with sharply tapered terminals and wedge-like strokes that feel cut with a knife or brush. Letterforms show purposeful irregularity in stroke edges and proportions, with narrow joins, spiky corners, and occasional hook-like curves. Counters are open and slightly uneven, and the overall rhythm is lively rather than mechanical, giving words a shifting, animated texture. The numeral set follows the same scratchy geometry, with angular turns and tapered ends that keep figures visually consistent with the caps and lowercase.
Best used for headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where its jagged texture can be appreciated—such as horror or mystery cover art, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction signage, and stylized game interfaces. It can also work for logos and packaging seeking an eerie handmade tone, while extended paragraph text may benefit from generous sizing and spacing.
The font reads as spooky and slightly playful, balancing menace with a cartoonish, storybook energy. Its sharp points and restless contours create a tense, haunted atmosphere suited to eerie narratives and Halloween-adjacent visuals without becoming overly gory.
The design appears intended to evoke a spooky, hand-rendered look through pointed terminals, irregular stroke edges, and uneven internal shapes, creating a distressed-but-legible display voice. It prioritizes atmosphere and character over typographic neutrality, giving compositions a haunted, animated presence.
Mixed-case text shows strong personality at display sizes, with noticeable variation in stem thickness and sidebearings that adds to the handmade effect. The uppercase forms feel bold and emblematic, while the lowercase introduces more quirky motion through hooks and skewed curves, keeping long lines visually animated.
