A chunky, ink-heavy display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and rounded, blobby terminals. Strokes are thick and uneven, with subtle wobble and occasional notches that create a distressed silhouette rather than clean brush modulation. Counters tend to be small and lumpy, and curves feel slightly collapsed, giving letters a compact, stamped-in-ink presence. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the hand-made rhythm while keeping an overall upright, legible stance.
Best suited for posters, headlines, packaging, and title treatments where texture and personality are the priority. It also fits horror-comedy, Halloween promotions, zines, comic-style graphics, and album/merch artwork. For longer passages, use larger sizes and added letterspacing to keep forms from crowding.
The texture reads as messy and mischievous—like bold marker or ink that bled into rough paper—creating a spooky-comic, DIY energy. Its imperfect edges and uneven shapes suggest grit and attitude more than refinement, making the tone feel rebellious, playful, and a little macabre.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-drawn, inked lettering with intentionally distressed edges—prioritizing bold presence and character over precision. Its irregular rhythm and chunky forms aim to deliver immediate impact and a gritty, handmade feel.
The font’s strongest feature is its silhouette: jagged outer edges and softened inner shapes create high impact at larger sizes. In continuous text, the heavy weight and tight counters can visually merge, so it benefits from generous tracking and short line lengths when readability matters.
