A heavy display face with irregular, hand-drawn contours and pronounced stroke modulation that creates thick masses with sudden narrow pinches. Terminals frequently end in tapered points and occasional drip-like descenders, while bowls and counters stay relatively open but uneven, producing a blotchy inked texture. Proportions are expanded and loose, with variable glyph widths and a slightly wavy baseline rhythm that emphasizes an organic, distressed silhouette across letters and numerals.
Best suited for large-scale display work where texture and silhouette can lead: horror or Halloween posters, haunted attraction branding, game titles and menus, event flyers, and expressive packaging or labels. It can also work for short bursts of text in headings, pull quotes, or logo-like wordmarks where an eerie, handmade feel is desired.
The letterforms project a spooky, playful-horror tone—more haunted-house poster than solemn gothic. Drips, spikes, and inky blots suggest ooze, decay, and handmade signage, giving the font an ominous energy with a theatrical, camp edge.
The design appears intended to mimic thick, wet ink or paint applied quickly, capturing drips, spikes, and uneven pressure to create an immediately spooky, attention-grabbing headline style. Its expanded stance and irregular rhythm prioritize character and atmosphere over neutrality and long-form readability.
Uppercase forms read as chunky and sculpted, while lowercase characters keep the same ragged edges and tapered ends, maintaining consistency in texture. Numerals follow the same inky, uneven construction, making the set feel cohesive in display settings but intentionally rough for continuous reading.
