Smooky

Smooky font by Biroakakarati is a free cartoon outline typeface that looks like puffy clouds of smoke drifting across the page. Each letter wobbles with a hand-drawn, slightly eerie charm—soft, rounded shapes traced by a thin, scratchy line that feels straight out of a spooky comic strip. It hits that playful-creepy sweet spot: lighthearted enough for kids, but still ghostly enough for late-night themes and Halloween branding.

Using Smooky, this free font shines on Halloween posters, trick-or-treat bags, kids’ book covers, party invitations, YouTube thumbnails, and themed stickers or packaging. The airy outlines give you plenty of room for color fills, gradients, or textures behind the letters, so it’s easy to customize. For readability, pair Smooky with a clean, simple sans serif in the smaller text and let Smooky take over the big, bold titles.
