A heavy, inked display face with irregular, brush-like contours and chunky silhouettes. Strokes are thick with abrupt tapers, rough edges, and occasional spurs that create a worn, organic outline rather than a clean geometric build. Counters are generally small and sometimes partially occluded by the textured perimeter, while curves and terminals show blotty, imperfect ink spread. Overall spacing and letter widths vary, producing an intentionally uneven rhythm and a hand-rendered look.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as horror and Halloween headlines, title cards, posters, and packaging where texture is part of the message. It can also work for game UI headings or event graphics, but the rough perimeter and tight counters suggest avoiding small sizes or long body copy.
The texture and jagged edges give the type a haunted, unsettling tone—like hand-painted signage or a distressed print pulled from a horror prop. Its irregularity reads as energetic and uneasy, leaning toward eerie and theatrical rather than friendly or neutral.
The design appears intended to mimic thick, wet ink or brush lettering that has been distressed or eroded, prioritizing atmosphere and immediacy over refinement. The inconsistent edges and variable letter shapes are used to create tension and a handmade, ominous presence.
The uppercase set feels especially blocky and imposing, while the lowercase retains the same rough texture with slightly more open forms in letters like e and r. Numerals follow the same distressed treatment, with inconsistent interior shapes that emphasize the handmade, lo-fi character.
