A heavy, all-caps-forward display face with irregular, hand-cut contours and noticeably uneven edges. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, but the outlines wobble and pinch into small spikes and nicks, creating a chiseled, organic silhouette. Counters are rounded and slightly lopsided, and terminals often end in blunt wedges or small claw-like points. Proportions vary by glyph, with wide, bouncy rounds (O, Q) and more compressed vertical forms, producing an intentionally inconsistent rhythm that reads as handmade and expressive.
Best suited for large sizes where the jagged contour work can be appreciated—titles, headlines, and short bursts of copy on posters, party flyers, seasonal campaigns, and thematic packaging. It also works well for logos or wordmarks that need a spooky-but-friendly character, especially when paired with a clean sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is spooky in a mischievous, tongue-in-cheek way—more haunted funhouse than grim horror. The jagged bite marks and occasional drip-like notches give it a creepy flavor, while the rounded shapes keep it approachable and cartoon-like. It suggests Halloween signage, monster-movie titles, and playful “creepy-cute” branding.
The design appears intended to mimic rough, hand-carved or torn letterforms, combining chunky mass with spooky irregularities for high-impact display use. Its controlled inconsistency and playful spikes aim to communicate themed atmosphere quickly rather than provide neutral, continuous reading comfort.
Uppercase has strong poster impact, while lowercase retains the same rough edge language with simplified, chunky shapes that can look intentionally primitive at smaller sizes. Numerals match the irregular silhouette and feel cut from the same blocky, inked material, supporting cohesive titling and short callouts.
