A compact, hand-drawn display face with dense black strokes and irregular, brush-like contours. Letterforms are tall and condensed with narrow counters and slightly inconsistent widths, creating a jittery rhythm across words. Terminals often taper into pointed tips or small hooks, and many strokes show rough edges and occasional droplet-like descenders, giving the shapes a distressed, inked look. Curves are slightly lumpy and asymmetrical, while verticals remain largely straight, keeping the overall texture lively but readable at larger sizes.
Best suited to short display settings where texture is part of the message: posters, titles, headers, event graphics, and packaging accents. It works especially well for seasonal or themed material (e.g., Halloween) and for music or entertainment branding that benefits from a raw, handmade edge. For longer text, larger sizes and generous spacing help preserve legibility amid the rough contours.
The font reads as spooky and mischievous, with a gritty, handmade energy. Its drippy details and scratchy outlines suggest horror-comedy, Halloween ephemera, and punk-zine attitude rather than polished refinement.
The design appears intended to mimic quick, ink-heavy lettering made with a brush or marker, prioritizing personality and atmosphere over uniform precision. Its condensed proportions and gritty detailing aim to deliver high-impact headlines with a slightly eerie, dripped-ink finish.
Capital forms are relatively simple and monoline in construction but gain character from uneven stroke boundaries and sharp, tapering endings. The lowercase includes several exaggerated descenders and occasional ink-drip motifs, which increase texture in running text. Numerals follow the same condensed, hand-inked style, maintaining strong visual consistency with the alphabet.
