A heavy, hand-drawn display face with lumpy, uneven strokes and softened corners that feel inked and slightly swollen. Outlines are deliberately rough, with subtle waviness and small bite-like notches that create a distressed silhouette. Counters are often tight and irregular, and the rhythm varies from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an organic, handmade look. Overall proportions are compact and sturdy, with simplified shapes and minimal internal detailing for strong spot readability.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as Halloween promotions, horror-themed posters, haunted attraction signage, game or film titles, and punchy packaging callouts. The heavy fill and distressed edge texture help it hold up at larger sizes, where the irregular silhouette becomes a key part of the visual identity.
The texture reads gritty and unsettling, like letters cut from tar or stamped in thick ink. Its uneven edges and blotted forms give a playful horror tone—more haunted-house poster than clinical terror—making it feel spooky, messy, and theatrical.
Designed to deliver an immediate spooky atmosphere through thick, imperfect strokes and distressed outlines, prioritizing personality and texture over typographic neutrality. The goal appears to be a bold headline voice that feels handmade, grimy, and theatrically ominous.
Uppercase forms lean blocky and sign-like, while lowercase remains similarly weighty with short extenders and rounded terminals. The numerals share the same blobby construction and rough perimeter, keeping the set visually consistent across headlines and short callouts.
