A scratchy, hand-drawn display face with irregular stroke edges and a deliberately uneven rhythm. Letterforms are built from simple, narrow structures and open counters, with frequent wobble in verticals and off-kilter curves that keep each glyph slightly unique. Many characters include small interior blobs or hollowed shapes that read like ink pits or carved marks, adding texture inside bowls and counters. Spacing and sidebearings feel inconsistent by design, producing a lively, jittery line color in text.
Best suited to short display settings where its irregular texture can be a feature: posters, flyers, packaging accents, and editorial or zine-style headlines. It works especially well for playful spooky themes, quirky event branding, and novelty titling, but will feel busy and unstable in small sizes or long-form reading.
The overall tone is mischievous and slightly eerie, like handwritten signage for a haunted attraction or a DIY zine. Its rough, imperfect outlines and textured interiors give it a quirky, lo-fi personality that feels intentionally oddball rather than refined. The result is energetic, expressive, and a bit unsettling in a fun way.
The design appears intended to emulate an improvised, marker-or-ink drawing style with intentional inconsistencies and interior “pocked” details. Rather than aiming for typographic neutrality, it prioritizes character and surprise, using rough contours and varied widths to create a wacky, handcrafted voice.
Distinctive circular characters (notably O/0) emphasize the internal texture, while strokes in letters like M, N, W, and K show sharp, twig-like joins. Numerals share the same rough contouring and interior speckling, maintaining a consistent distressed, doodled texture across the set.
