A heavy, chunky display face with softly rounded bowls and a compact, poster-like silhouette. Strokes are thick and generally uniform, but the contours are intentionally irregular, with torn-looking notches, bumpy terminals, and slightly ragged edges that mimic worn printing or cutout shapes. Counters stay open and fairly large for the weight, while joins and corners skew organic rather than geometric, giving letters a lively, uneven rhythm across a line of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, event flyers, scary-fun seasonal materials, labels, and product packaging where texture and attitude are desired. It also works well for logos or wordmarks that benefit from a rugged, printed look, but it is less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI sizes.
The overall tone is playful and slightly spooky, with a vintage, low-fi energy reminiscent of Halloween ephemera, comic signage, and distressed packaging. Its roughened texture reads as handmade and attention-grabbing rather than refined, creating a bold, mischievous personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum boldness with a deliberately worn, tactile finish—combining friendly rounded shapes with distressed edges to evoke vintage print and handcrafted display lettering.
Uppercase forms feel stout and blocky, while lowercase maintains the same rugged texture and weight, helping the font stay consistent in mixed-case settings. The distressed detailing is visible even at larger sizes and can begin to merge at smaller sizes, where the rough edges become more prominent than internal detail.
