A heavy, irregular display face with sharply cut, wedge-like terminals and frequent inkblot masses that collapse many counters into solid shapes. Strokes alternate between chunky blocks and thin, knife-edged slivers, creating abrupt contrast and a torn-paper silhouette. Curves often appear as flattened blobs (notably in O/C/G forms), while verticals can be narrow and spiky; spacing and sidebearings feel intentionally inconsistent for a jittery rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and uneven, with small bowls and short ascenders/descenders, emphasizing a dense, stamp-like texture in words.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where a rough, unsettling personality is desired—posters, horror or Halloween titling, album/track artwork, game titles, and gritty event flyers. It can also work for logo marks that want a handmade, cut-paper feel, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is unruly and ominous, with a distressed, cut-out energy that reads as horror-leaning and mischievous rather than refined. Its blotted counters and jagged edges suggest DIY grit, evoking zines, haunted signage, or spellbook/folklore styling.
The design appears intended to maximize personality through irregular silhouettes, collapsing counters, and aggressive terminals, prioritizing texture and mood over conventional readability. It aims to look handmade and unpredictable, like letters cut with a blade or formed from pooled ink.
Legibility is strongest at larger sizes where the silhouette carries the letter identity; in longer text, the filled interiors and irregular spacing can create dark clusters. Numerals share the same carved-and-blotted construction, with especially heavy, rounded masses in 8 and 9.
