A chunky, brush-like display face with irregular stroke edges, soft bulges, and abrupt tapers that create a rough, hand-rendered silhouette. Letterforms lean slightly and vary in width, with a lively, uneven rhythm and simplified internal counters that read best at larger sizes. Terminals often end in points or smudged wedges, and the outlines show intentional wobble and texture-like inconsistencies that keep the overall color dark and punchy.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as Halloween promotions, haunted attraction branding, horror or thriller poster headlines, and game or stream title cards. It can also add character to packaging or social graphics where a rough, spooky brush look is desirable.
The font conveys a spooky, mischievous tone—more haunted-poster energy than refined horror. Its blotted brush shapes and sharp tapers suggest urgency and suspense, while the rounded, cartoony massing keeps it approachable and fun rather than purely grim.
Likely designed to mimic fast, ink-heavy brush lettering with deliberate imperfections, amplifying an eerie theme through ragged edges, pointed terminals, and an irregular, hand-painted rhythm.
Spacing and proportions feel intentionally inconsistent, contributing to a handmade, scrawled effect. The numerals match the same blobby, tapered construction, keeping a cohesive voice across letters and figures.
