A heavy, marker-like display face with blobby strokes, soft terminals, and intentionally uneven contours. Letterforms show noticeable wobble and organic swelling, as if drawn with a saturated brush or felt tip, creating a slightly drippy, melted silhouette without sharp points. Counters are irregular and sometimes tight, and the baseline and widths vary from glyph to glyph, producing an animated, hand-rendered rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same chunky, rounded construction, keeping the texture consistent across the set.
Works well for short headlines, posters, event flyers, and packaging that needs a spooky-but-approachable voice. It’s especially effective for Halloween promotions, kids’ fright-night themes, and theatrical materials where the hand-drawn texture can carry the mood. Use generous tracking and larger sizes for maximum legibility and impact.
The overall tone is mischievous and eerie rather than truly menacing—more haunted-house signage than gritty horror. Its inky, imperfect edges and lumpy forms evoke slime, goo, or carved-and-painted lettering, giving it a fun, spooky personality suited to seasonal and theatrical settings.
Likely designed to mimic hand-painted or marker-drawn lettering with a gooey, haunted texture, prioritizing character and atmosphere over typographic precision. The consistent blobbed stroke style across letters and numbers suggests an intention for expressive display use rather than continuous reading.
At text sizes the heavy ink gain and irregular counters can reduce clarity, while at larger sizes the texture and wobble become the main feature. The design’s charm comes from its deliberate inconsistency, so it reads best when given breathing room and used as a graphic element.
