A hand-drawn display face with brush-like strokes, tapered terminals, and deliberately irregular contours. Forms alternate between rounded bowls and sudden angular bites, creating a jittery rhythm that feels cut and scratched rather than engineered. Strokes show noticeable modulation from thick to thin with occasional hooked or thorny endings; curves are slightly lumpy and the baseline feel is loosely controlled. Uppercase and lowercase maintain a consistent handmade texture while varying in width and silhouette, reinforcing an organic, unpolished look.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as horror or Halloween titles, themed posters, game menus, and spooky event branding. It also works well for packaging accents and chapter heads where texture and atmosphere matter more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is eerie and storybook-dark, like lettering for a haunted attraction or a spooky comic. Sharp flicks and hooked terminals add tension, while the rounded counters keep it approachable and slightly playful rather than purely menacing.
The design appears intended to emulate quick ink or brush lettering with controlled chaos, using tapered strokes and thorn-like terminals to signal suspense and supernatural themes. Its consistent roughness suggests it is built for display use where character and mood are the primary goals.
The most distinctive identifying feature is the recurring spike-and-hook terminal language—visible in many caps and lowercase—paired with soft, rounded interiors. The numerals follow the same brushy construction, supporting cohesive titling and short callouts in the same voice.
