A rough, hand-rendered print face with brush-like strokes and visibly uneven edges. Stems swell and taper abruptly, creating lively, high-ink moments alongside thin, wiry joins, and the overall stroke texture reads as dry-brush or marker on paper. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with small counters and occasional asymmetry that keeps the rhythm intentionally irregular. The caps feel more assertive and chunky, while the lowercase is lighter and more spindly, with simple, open constructions and modest ascenders/descenders.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and character are an asset: Halloween or horror-comedy promos, event posters, book and game titles, themed packaging, and expressive pull quotes. It reads most confidently at medium-to-large sizes where the rough edges and stroke contrast remain clear.
The tone is eerie-fun and storybook, with a handmade look that suggests potions labels, haunted ephemera, and theatrical signage. Its jittery, imperfect contours add personality and a slightly mischievous edge, balancing ominous with playful.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, inked lettering with an intentionally imperfect, organic rhythm—prioritizing mood and personality over typographic regularity. It aims to deliver a handcrafted, slightly spooky flavor for expressive display typography.
Spacing and sidebearings appear intentionally inconsistent, enhancing the hand-drawn cadence in text. Numerals match the same brushy construction and uneven weight distribution, keeping the set cohesive for display lines and short bursts of copy.
