A heavy, chunky display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and a deliberately uneven silhouette. Strokes are broadly constructed with modest contrast, but edges break and notch unpredictably, creating a worn cut-paper or distressed print effect. Curves are bulbous and slightly wobbly, joins are blunt, and counters vary in openness from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade, imperfect rhythm. Overall spacing and widths feel loosely tuned, with noticeable variation that adds to the rough, animated texture in running text.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, titles, packaging callouts, and promotional graphics where texture and attitude are priorities. It fits seasonal and themed work—especially spooky or horror-comedy applications—as well as games, entertainment branding, and any design needing a bold, distressed display voice.
The font projects a mischievous, spooky energy—more playful than threatening—like a classic monster-movie title treated with a cartoon sensibility. Its roughened outlines add grit and noise, giving headlines a lively, rebellious feel that reads as intentionally unpolished and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through weight and texture, combining a bold display structure with intentionally broken edges to evoke wear, rough printing, or torn material. The irregular rhythm suggests an expressive, characterful alternative to clean headline faces, optimized for thematic titles and graphic statements.
Legibility is strong at headline sizes, where the distressed contour work becomes a defining texture; at smaller sizes the edge breakup and interior notches can start to compete with counters and fine details. Numerals and lowercase share the same jagged treatment, keeping the voice consistent across mixed-case settings.
