A heavy, brush-like display face with soft, blobby terminals and visibly irregular contours. Strokes swell and pinch unpredictably, creating a lumpy rhythm and a hand-painted feel; edges are ragged rather than crisp, as if made with a loaded marker or dry brush. Letterforms lean slightly and vary in width from glyph to glyph, with rounded counters and simplified, cartoonish construction that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Works best as a display font for short headlines, titles, and attention-grabbing callouts where texture is desirable—seasonal promotions, haunted attractions, spooky game screens, and themed packaging. It can function in brief lines of supporting text, but the heavy, textured strokes are most effective at larger sizes where the rough edges read as intentional character.
The overall tone is eerie but approachable—more Halloween poster than grim blackletter. Its inky, organic shapes suggest ooze, wax, or damp paint, giving text a haunted, handmade character without becoming overly aggressive or sharp.
The design appears intended to simulate fast, ink-heavy hand lettering with an unsettling, organic wobble. It prioritizes mood and texture over geometric precision, aiming for an expressive, themed display voice that still remains legible and friendly.
Spacing appears naturally uneven in a way that reinforces the handcrafted aesthetic, and the dense black texture builds quickly in paragraphs. The numerals share the same swollen, irregular stroke behavior, helping mixed text maintain a unified, poster-ready color.
