A distressed display face with thick, rounded strokes and heavily irregular contours, as if drawn with a wet marker or brush on absorbent paper. Letterforms are mostly upright with simple construction, but the outlines wobble and bulge, creating lumpy terminals and uneven joins. Counters tend to be small and imperfectly circular, while curves show frequent dents and flattening. Spacing and widths feel inconsistent by design, reinforcing a handmade rhythm; numerals match the same blobby, worn texture.
Use it for short display settings where atmosphere matters more than precision: headlines, posters, flyers, packaging accents, and on-screen title cards. It also suits game menus, event promotions, and themed merchandise that benefits from an imperfect, inked look.
The texture reads like smeared ink and aged signage, giving the alphabet an eerie, low-fi character. Its playful roughness leans toward spooky fun rather than sleek menace, evoking haunted-house posters, DIY horror zines, and occult ephemera.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-rendered lettering with a deliberately degraded, blotchy edge—creating an immediate spooky tone while keeping forms simple enough to remain readable in short bursts.
In text, the strong black mass and rough perimeter dominate quickly, so the face reads best when set loose with generous tracking and ample line spacing. The distressed edge detail is a primary feature and will become more pronounced as size increases and more likely to fill in at smaller sizes.
