A rough, hand-rendered display face with thick, inky strokes and noticeably uneven contours. Terminals often taper into soft points or slight drips, while bowls and counters feel blobby and imperfect, as if painted with a loaded brush or marker. The baseline and cap line read fairly steady, but individual glyph widths and internal shapes vary, creating a jittery, organic rhythm. Numerals share the same irregular stroke edges and bulbous forms, maintaining consistency across the set.
Best suited for short display text where atmosphere matters: horror or thriller titles, Halloween promotions, haunted-house flyers, spooky game UI, and book or podcast cover typography. It can also work for themed packaging or event signage when used at larger sizes, where the rough edges and drips remain clear.
The overall tone is unsettling yet approachable—more “creepy fun” than outright brutal. Its smeared edges, occasional drip-like terminals, and lopsided shapes evoke Halloween props, B-movie titles, and handmade horror signage. The texture adds tension and character without becoming unreadable at typical display sizes.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, expressive brush lettering with a deliberately imperfect finish, using wobbly outlines and drip-like terminals to suggest unease and suspense. Its consistent “wet ink” texture and varied widths aim to deliver character and theme-forward impact in headlines rather than neutral body copy.
Round letters like O, Q, and 0 feel inflated and slightly wobbly, while verticals in letters such as I, H, and N look like uneven brush pulls with occasional narrowing and swelling. The irregular counters and softened corners contribute to a wet-ink, painted-on-paper impression that reads best with generous spacing and strong contrast against the background.
