A rough display face with irregular, slightly wavy contours and blunt, chipped terminals that create a cut-paper or worn-ink silhouette. Stroke thickness is generally steady, but edges wobble and corners pinch into small spikes, giving each glyph a subtly distressed outline. Counters are rounded and somewhat uneven, and curves (notably in O/C/G) look hand-shaped rather than geometric. Spacing feels open and the rhythm lively, with small per-letter width and shape variations that reinforce the handmade character.
Best suited to short headlines, titles, and punchy callouts where texture and atmosphere are desired—Halloween promotions, haunted house branding, spooky game screens, and themed packaging or labels. It can also work for chapter headings or pull quotes in themed editorial layouts when paired with a calmer body text.
The overall tone is spooky and storybook-like—more “haunted carnival” or “witch’s spellbook” than graphic gore. Its jagged edges and imperfect curves add tension and mystery while staying approachable and readable for display settings.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or roughly inked lettering with deliberate nicks, spikes, and uneven curves, delivering an atmospheric display style that reads clearly while signaling a spooky, handcrafted theme.
Uppercase forms read bold and emblematic, while the lowercase has a slightly looser, more informal texture. Numerals share the same ragged, carved edges, keeping the set visually consistent. The irregular outlines can create extra visual noise at small sizes, where the distressed details may begin to fill in.
