A heavy, ink-brush display face with visibly irregular stroke edges and pronounced contrast between thick, pooled strokes and sharper, tapered terminals. Letterforms are upright but intentionally uneven in width and rhythm, with wobbly verticals, slightly varying cap heights, and organic curves that feel painted rather than constructed. Counters tend to be small and soft-edged, and many joins show a blobby, wet-ink look that adds texture and movement. Overall spacing reads loose and lively, emphasizing gesture over strict alignment.
Works best at display sizes where the ragged brush texture and high-contrast strokes can be appreciated—titles, posters, packaging, event flyers, and themed social graphics. It’s especially suited to Halloween and horror-adjacent branding, haunted house signage, and game or stream overlays where an expressive, handmade tone is desired.
The texture and jittery brush energy give the font an eerie, spooky character without leaning into literal drips—more like hand-painted signage for a haunted attraction. Its rough edges and inky buildup suggest something rushed, messy, and slightly unsettling, while the rounded forms keep it approachable enough for playful horror and seasonal graphics.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, bold brush lettering with wet-ink imperfections, using irregular widths and tapered flicks to create tension and a lightly sinister mood. Its emphasis is on character and atmosphere over typographic neutrality, aiming for immediate impact in short phrases and headlines.
The uppercase shows strong presence for headlines, while the lowercase remains similarly textured and compact, keeping the overall tone consistent. Numerals share the same brushy construction and irregular terminals, supporting themed headlines and short callouts rather than precision-heavy settings.
