A casual, brush-like display face with rounded forms and irregular stroke edges. Strokes show noticeable tapering and occasional sharp, fang-like terminals, with slightly uneven thickness and a hand-rendered rhythm. Curves are soft and open, counters are generally generous, and joins vary in firmness, creating a lively, imperfect texture. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent informal structure, while numerals follow the same organic, slightly wobbly geometry.
Well-suited to Halloween promotions, spooky event posters, themed party invitations, and horror-comedy title treatments. It can also work for packaging and signage where an eerie handmade voice is needed, especially in short headlines, logos, and display-sized phrases.
The overall tone feels mischievous and eerie rather than brutal—like a light horror or Halloween aesthetic with a friendly, cartoonish edge. Subtle spurs and tapered ends add a haunted or “creepy handwritten” flavor, while the rounded proportions keep it approachable and fun.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke a hand-painted, slightly haunted feel using tapered brush strokes and playful irregularity, balancing legibility with an intentionally creepy personality.
Spacing appears moderately open in text, helping the rough stroke texture remain legible at larger sizes. The design reads best when allowed to breathe, where the irregularities and tapered terminals can register as intentional character rather than noise.
