A heavy display face with irregular, torn edges and blobby silhouettes that suggest ink spread or cut-paper shapes. Strokes stay broadly consistent in weight but wobble in outline, with occasional nicks, notches, and small interior bite-marks that create a distressed texture. Counters are often lumpy and asymmetrical, terminals end in rough tapers or soft drips, and spacing feels intentionally uneven for a handmade rhythm. Capitals are compact and chunky, while lowercase shows a slightly more varied footprint with narrow stems and rounded bowls.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as Halloween promotions, horror or thriller posters, haunted-house flyers, and title cards. It can also work for packaging accents, social graphics, or game/interface labels where a grimy, spooky voice is desired, especially when paired with a simpler supporting text face.
The overall tone is spooky and mischievous rather than refined—more haunted funhouse than solemn horror. Its ragged contours and inky massing feel grimy, hand-crafted, and attention-grabbing, lending a pulp, poster-like energy.
The design appears intended to deliver instant atmosphere through exaggerated weight and distressed, dripping edges, creating a handmade horror aesthetic that reads quickly at display sizes while prioritizing character over neutrality.
The irregular outlines add strong character at headline sizes, while the dense black shapes and distressed edges can reduce clarity at small sizes. Numerals and punctuation match the same roughened, organic construction, maintaining a cohesive texture across mixed copy.
