A rough-edged, hand-rendered serif with irregular contours and choppy terminals that look carved or torn rather than cleanly drawn. Strokes keep a fairly even darkness but vary in outline, creating a textured silhouette and lively, uneven rhythm across words. The forms lean slightly, with bouncy spacing and inconsistent widths that make the line feel animated and unpredictable. Serifs are present but broken and angular, and bowls and counters are often lumpy or faceted, reinforcing the distressed, hand-cut effect.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, book covers, game titles, and themed event flyers where the rough texture can be a feature rather than a distraction. It can also work for logos or packaging that want a handmade, eerie, or offbeat tone, especially when set large with comfortable tracking.
The font conveys a mischievous, spooky energy—more haunted storybook and oddball poster than refined print. Its ragged texture and jittery rhythm feel handmade and slightly chaotic, suggesting creaky old signage, campy horror, or playful macabre themes.
Likely designed to deliver a one-off, characterful display voice that feels handcrafted and imperfect, using distressed outlines and irregular spacing to create a playful-but-unsettling atmosphere.
In longer text the strong texture builds quickly, so it reads best when given generous size and spacing. The distressed edges add character but also introduce visual noise, making it more suitable for short phrases than dense paragraphs.
