A rough, brush-like display face with uneven stroke edges, sharp wedge terminals, and frequent jagged protrusions that create an intentionally distressed silhouette. Forms are compact and slightly forward-leaning, with irregular width and lively baseline movement that gives the alphabet a hand-rendered, carved-and-inked feel. Counters tend to be tight and sometimes partially closed by heavy strokes, while curves and diagonals break into angular facets that heighten the gritty texture at larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of copy on Halloween promotions, haunted attractions, horror-themed posters, and spooky game or stream branding. It also works well for album/cover art and punchy packaging where a gritty, theatrical atmosphere is desired and generous sizing can preserve interior shapes.
The overall tone is eerie and mischievous, balancing horror energy with a handmade, pulp-poster attitude. Its sharp cuts and restless rhythm suggest danger and suspense, while the exaggerated shapes keep it theatrical rather than purely grim.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate spooky impact through distressed brush forms, sharp terminals, and irregular construction, prioritizing atmosphere and personality over calm, continuous readability. It aims to feel handmade and uncanny, like a hastily painted title card or a rough-cut sign.
Texture is a defining feature: edge roughness and stroke wobble are consistent across letters and numerals, producing a strong “printed from something imperfect” impression. The sample text shows that the font’s character comes through most clearly in short phrases, where the irregularity reads as expressive rather than noisy.
