An all-caps and lowercase display face with heavy, inked strokes and noticeably irregular, hand-formed contours. Stems and bowls appear subtly swollen and wobbly, with edges that look chewed or brushy rather than cleanly vector-sharp. Terminals are rounded and sometimes slightly hooked, and many counters are lopsided, creating a lively, uneven color. The rhythm is deliberately inconsistent—glyph widths, curvature, and stroke endings vary from letter to letter—while remaining legible at display sizes. Numerals share the same blotted, organic construction, with rounded forms and slightly distorted joins.
Best suited to short display text where its irregular texture can be appreciated—Halloween promotions, horror-comedy posters, escape-room graphics, game titles/UI accents, and spooky packaging or labels. It also works well for chapter heads, pull quotes, and themed signage; for long paragraphs, it’s more effective as an accent than a primary text face.
The overall tone is spooky in a campy, storybook way—suggesting homemade signage, potion-label lettering, or a haunted-house poster rendered with a marker or thick brush. Its wobble and blobby texture read as unsettling but approachable, balancing creepiness with a quirky, handcrafted charm.
The design intention appears to be a legible, hand-drawn spooky display style that feels like thick ink applied quickly—prioritizing character and atmosphere over typographic neutrality. The uneven contours and variable forms are tuned to evoke eerie, handmade lettering while keeping the alphabet and numerals readable in headline settings.
The font’s texture is driven more by contour variation than by added effects: the black shapes stay solid while the outline undulates, producing a tactile, ink-on-paper feel. Round letters (O, Q, o, e) emphasize the lumpy perimeter and irregular counters, and many letters show small notches or protrusions that enhance the distressed personality.
