A jagged, hand-rendered display face with thick, uneven strokes and softly blunted terminals. Letterforms are built from wobbly contours and irregular bowls, giving a slightly swollen, inky silhouette rather than sharp geometric precision. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, and curves appear chiseled or gnawed, producing a restless rhythm across words. The lowercase reads as a simplified, print-like set with a single-storey a and g, while numerals keep the same rough, cutout texture and compact proportions.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror or Halloween headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and event promotions. It also fits game titles or UI labels where a themed, distressed voice is needed, and works well for band/album artwork or comic-styled graphics when used in larger sizes.
The overall tone feels spooky and mischievous—like hastily painted signage or a horror-comic title treatment. Its distressed edges and lurching rhythm suggest unease and motion, balancing creepiness with a handmade, DIY energy rather than polished menace.
The design appears intended to emulate a hand-inked, distressed look with deliberately imperfect contours, creating an eerie, lived-in texture that communicates genre and atmosphere instantly. Variation in widths and ragged edges seems purposeful to avoid mechanical repetition and keep the lettering feeling organic.
At text sizes the texture becomes the main feature, so the font is most convincing when set large enough for the ragged outlines to remain legible. Uppercase forms carry more weight and presence for headlines, while the lowercase adds a slightly friendlier, storybook-like cadence.
