A lively, hand-drawn display face with subtly irregular proportions and a gently wavy baseline feel. Strokes show noticeable tapering and soft, ink-like modulation, with occasional thorny terminals and pointed joins that create a slightly jagged silhouette. Counters are open and rounded, while verticals often bow or lean just enough to feel organic rather than geometric. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow-leaning with playful asymmetry, and the lowercase keeps a simple, readable structure with distinctive hooked descenders on letters like g, j, and y. Numerals follow the same irregular rhythm, mixing smooth curves with sharp spur-like endings for a cohesive, illustrative texture.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where texture and personality are the priority: Halloween promotions, haunted house/event posters, spooky game titles, book covers, party invitations, themed packaging, and headline treatments. It can also work for short bursts of body copy in themed compositions when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone reads like spooky-fun rather than grim: animated, slightly unsettling, and story-driven. Its spurs and tapered ends add a haunted, witchy edge, while the bouncy irregularity keeps it approachable and theatrical. It suggests handmade signage, potion-label charm, and playful horror branding.
Designed to evoke an eerie, handcrafted atmosphere through tapered strokes, sharp terminals, and deliberate irregularity. The letterforms balance legibility with theatrical character, aiming for a playful horror mood that feels illustrative and expressive rather than strictly typographic.
The font relies on silhouette character more than fine detail, giving it strong presence at larger sizes. Curves often finish in pinched points or small hooks, and several glyphs show intentionally uneven stroke widths that enhance the drawn-by-hand impression. Spacing appears moderately loose in samples, helping the spiky terminals avoid crowding.
