A heavy, chunky display face with irregular, distressed contours and uneven stroke edges that suggest worn printing or rough-cut letterforms. Shapes are generally upright with a tall x-height and compact counters, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph for a lively, uneven rhythm. Terminals tend to be blunt and ragged, and interior shapes show occasional nicks and bite-like voids that add texture without breaking overall readability at display sizes.
Best suited to short-form display settings where texture is a feature: posters, headlines, title cards, event graphics, and packaging that benefits from a rough, handmade voice. It can also work well for themed applications such as spooky seasonal designs, playful horror branding, or stylized game and entertainment titles.
The texture and lumpy silhouettes create a spooky, grungy tone with a humorous, cartoon-leaning energy. It reads as handmade and slightly chaotic, giving text a crafted, DIY character that can feel rustic, mischievous, or horror-adjacent depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately weathered, irregular surface, evoking rough ink coverage and worn edges. Its tall x-height and compact counters aim to keep words readable while preserving a noisy, characterful texture at larger sizes.
Round letters like O and Q keep a broadly circular structure but with wavy, chipped outlines, while straighter forms retain a cut-paper feel rather than crisp geometry. Numerals match the same distressed mass and maintain strong presence, making them suitable for loud, attention-grabbing set pieces.
