A heavy, ink-black display face built from chunky, asymmetrical forms with frequent wedge-like notches and teardrop counters. Strokes behave more like carved or cut shapes than drawn lines, with sharp interior bites, pointed terminals, and uneven curves that create a jittery rhythm across words. Letterfit and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, while the overall silhouette stays compact and dense, keeping texture bold even at smaller sizes.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, event titles, album/cover art, packaging callouts, and expressive logotypes. It works especially well when you want bold shapes and a quirky-spooky tone; for longer passages, generous size and spacing help maintain legibility.
The font projects a mischievous, slightly ominous energy—somewhere between comic weirdness and occult poster drama. Its cutout detailing and shifting shapes give it a handmade, mask-like personality that feels theatrical and intentionally unruly rather than refined.
The design appears intended to prioritize personality and silhouette over strict consistency, using carved notches and swollen strokes to create a one-off, decorative voice. It’s aimed at display typography where distinctive texture and a playful darkness are more important than smooth reading flow.
Counters are often small and off-center, and several characters rely on distinctive internal cuts for recognition, which can increase visual character at large sizes but reduce clarity in long text. The strong black mass and irregular spacing create a lively, patterned word shape that reads more as graphic texture than neutral typography.
