A heavy, inked sans with visibly irregular contours and pronounced stroke modulation that reads like a brush or marker texture translated into solid forms. Terminals are often blunt and slightly ragged, with subtle waviness along stems and bowls that creates a lively, uneven edge. Proportions lean broad with generous internal counters, while spacing and letter widths vary enough to reinforce a hand-drawn rhythm. The character set keeps simple, mostly unadorned constructions, but the high contrast and rough edge treatment add strong graphic presence.
Best suited to display settings where the rough, high-contrast texture can read clearly—headlines, posters, packaging, and illustrated book or game covers. It also works well for short bursts of copy such as pull quotes, labels, and event promotions, especially where a handmade or spooky-playful mood is desired.
The overall tone feels handmade and informal, with a slightly mischievous, spooky-cute energy. Its uneven edges and bouncy rhythm suggest craft, DIY printmaking, or illustrated lettering rather than polished corporate typography. The texture and contrast give it a dramatic, attention-grabbing voice that suits expressive headlines.
The design intent appears to be an expressive, hand-rendered sans that prioritizes personality and texture over geometric regularity. By combining broad proportions with irregular edges and strong contrast, it aims to deliver a bold, crafted look for attention-focused typography.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping it hold together as a display face. Round letters (like O and o) appear slightly lopsided and organic, and the figures share the same brushy, uneven finish, supporting cohesive use in short numeric callouts.
