A heavily inked display face with thick, blobby strokes and deliberately irregular contours. Letterforms look hand-shaped, with wobbly baselines, uneven stroke edges, and occasional pinched terminals that create subtle spikes and drips. Counters are compact and sometimes lopsided, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a jittery rhythm. The overall color is dense and dark, with low internal contrast and a slightly smeared, organic silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror or Halloween promotions, game and film title treatments, album artwork, and attention-grabbing flyers. It works well when given generous size and tracking, and when paired with a cleaner text face for supporting copy.
The texture and distorted outlines evoke a creepy, off-kilter tone—more haunted funhouse than refined horror. Its inky blobs and ragged edges suggest slime, decay, or ink bleed, giving headlines a mischievous, unsettling energy.
The design appears intended to mimic an inky, hand-rendered mark with intentionally uneven edges, using blobby massing and irregular terminals to create a spooky, distressed display voice that feels immediate and tactile.
The alphabet retains recognizable skeletons for quick reading at larger sizes, but the rough perimeter and tight counters can close up when set small or packed tightly. Capitals and lowercase share the same distressed, blotted construction, helping mixed-case lines keep a consistent, handmade feel.
