A compact, upright display face with thick, rounded strokes that stay mostly consistent in weight, then break into rough, torn terminals. The letterforms mix smooth bowls with abrupt, brush-like cuts and small drips, creating an intentionally distressed silhouette. Curves (O, C, e, o) are fairly circular, while straights (E, F, H, I) end in uneven, ragged edges. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-rendered rhythm rather than strict geometric regularity.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where the ragged terminals can be appreciated—titles, posters, seasonal promotions, game screens, and spooky product packaging. It can also work for punchy pull quotes or headings, but the distressed details may soften at very small sizes or in low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is eerie and mischievous—more comic-horror than purely grim. The distressed tips and occasional drip-like details suggest decay, slime, or scratched paint, giving the font a spooky theatrical presence while staying readable.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly spooky, tactile look through torn, brushy terminals and drip-like accents, while preserving straightforward proportions and open counters for legibility. It aims to feel hand-made and slightly chaotic, prioritizing atmosphere and character over strict typographic polish.
Uppercase forms read bold and poster-like, while lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey construction (notably a, g) that keeps text approachable. Numerals follow the same distressed terminal treatment, with rounded shapes (0, 8, 9) carrying the roughened edges clearly. The texture is concentrated at stroke ends rather than across the whole stroke, so the face retains strong interior counters and clear word shapes.
