A heavy, hand-rendered display face with brush-like strokes and uneven, torn-looking edges. Letterforms are compact and slightly irregular, with frequent pointed terminals, wedge-like notches, and occasional droplet or fang-style descenders that create a restless silhouette. Stroke widths fluctuate subtly within each glyph, suggesting pressure from a marker or brush rather than geometric construction. Counters are generally small and rounded, and the overall rhythm is bouncy and inconsistent in a deliberate, organic way.
Best used at display sizes where the ragged edges and pointed terminals can read clearly—such as horror-comedy posters, Halloween promotions, haunted-house signage, game titles, or characterful logos. It can also work on packaging or labels when a rough, hand-inked, spooky tone is desired, ideally with generous tracking and line spacing.
The texture and sharp tapers give the font an eerie, mischievous energy—more haunted funhouse than strict gothic. It reads as spooky and cinematic, with a playful edge that feels suited to jump-scare headlines, monster-themed packaging, and seasonal novelty graphics.
The design appears intended to mimic fast, expressive brush lettering while injecting horror-leaning spikes and drips for atmosphere. Its irregular contours and variable shapes prioritize character and mood over smooth uniformity, making it suited for themed display work rather than long-form reading.
In text samples the jagged contours add strong personality but also create a noisy texture, especially where narrow counters and rough terminals crowd together. Numerals and capitals match the same brushy, distressed logic, keeping the set cohesive for short bursts of copy and punchy titles.
