A hand-drawn, brush-like display face with uneven stroke edges and frequent tapered terminals. Forms are generally open and loosely constructed, with slightly wobbly curves and occasional sharp points that suggest quick, expressive mark-making. Stroke thickness varies within each letter, and counters are often asymmetrical, giving the alphabet a lively, imperfect rhythm. The overall spacing and widths fluctuate across glyphs, reinforcing an organic, non-mechanical texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short, prominent text where texture and mood are the priority—posters, titles, packaging callouts, and themed event graphics. It performs particularly well at medium-to-large sizes where the ragged edges and tapered strokes remain legible and contribute to the intended atmosphere.
The letterforms read as ominous and uncanny, with scratchy contours and knife-like flicks that evoke spooky signage and horror ephemera. Its casual, handmade energy keeps it from feeling gothic or formal, leaning instead toward a playful-but-menacing tone suited to creepy storytelling and seasonal theatrics.
The design appears intended to mimic quick brush lettering with controlled roughness, combining readable skeletons with distressed, pointy terminals to deliver an unmistakably eerie, handmade display voice.
Uppercase characters tend to be taller and more angular, while lowercase rounds soften into looser, more scribbled shapes; together they maintain a consistent brush-drawn identity. Numerals match the same irregular construction, with curled or hooked ends that add character at larger sizes.
