A heavy, soft-edged display face with irregular, chipped contours and occasional interior voids that read like torn paper or worn ink. Strokes are thick and rounded overall, but the silhouette is broken up by notches, spikes, and bite-like cuts, creating a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters are often small and sometimes partially collapsed, while joins and terminals vary from blunt to jagged, giving each letter a slightly different profile. Spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing an organic, hand-distressed texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, party invitations, haunted attraction signage, game or comic titling, and packaging that benefits from a rough, spooky texture. It can also work for logos or badges when set large with generous spacing to preserve counter clarity.
The font conveys a mischievous horror tone—more haunted funhouse than serious menace. Its ragged edges and inky massing suggest spooky signage, monster-movie titling, and campy seasonal graphics, with an energetic, animated presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing display voice with a deliberately distressed surface—combining chunky shapes with torn, chipped detailing to evoke worn print and creature-like bite marks.
Legibility is strongest at headline sizes where the distressed silhouette reads clearly; at smaller sizes the tight counters and rough bite-outs can begin to fill in visually. Numerals match the same irregular, carved-out look, keeping the texture consistent across alphanumerics.
