A rough, display-oriented alphabet with sketchy, inked outlines and heavily irregular contours. Strokes show jittery pressure changes and torn, bristled terminals, with occasional interior gaps and layered-looking outlines that suggest quick redraws or overprinting. Counters are inconsistent and sometimes partially open, while curves wobble and corners flare into small spikes, creating a lively, unstable rhythm. Overall spacing and letter widths vary noticeably, reinforcing a hand-made, distressed texture across both upper- and lowercase and the numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror or Halloween titles, spooky event flyers, game menus, and album or podcast artwork where texture is desirable. It can also work for branded phrases, stickers, and social graphics that benefit from a raw, hand-drawn look, rather than for long-form reading.
The font projects an eerie, mischievous energy—part horror, part DIY zine—through its scratchy texture and unruly stroke behavior. It feels raw and improvised, with a spooky-carnival tone that reads more expressive than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a dramatic distressed look that mimics scratchy marker or dry-brush lettering, prioritizing atmosphere and texture over typographic neutrality. Its inconsistent outlines and animated terminals are tuned to create character and tension in display applications.
In the text sample, the distressed edges accumulate into a strong surface texture, so the type looks darker and more active in longer lines than in isolated glyphs. The most legible results come from giving the letters room to breathe, since the ragged terminals and uneven bowls can visually crowd adjacent characters at smaller sizes.
