A condensed, upright display face with uneven, hand-cut-looking contours and a distinctly jagged edge. Strokes stay fairly uniform in thickness, but terminals flare into small wedges and hooks that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters are tight and irregular, and curves are rendered with faceted, angular turns rather than smooth arcs. The lowercase is compact with short ascenders/descenders relative to the tall body height, and the overall rhythm feels intentionally inconsistent from letter to letter for a lively, one-off look.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, event titles, album or game titles, and expressive branding where a weird, spooky, or humorous voice is desired. It also works well for packaging or labels that want a handcrafted, slightly menacing flair, especially at larger sizes.
The texture reads mischievous and slightly eerie—more haunted carnival than formal gothic. Its sharp nicks and twitchy terminals give it an animated, comic tone that feels handmade and theatrical, with a hint of vintage horror poster energy.
The design appears intended to prioritize character over neutrality by mixing condensed proportions with irregular, carved-looking details. It aims to deliver instant mood—quirky and creepy—through edgy terminals, uneven counters, and a deliberately wobbly rhythm that keeps the text feeling animated.
In text, the narrow set and busy edges create a strong color and a lot of visual noise, which helps headlines pop but can tire the eye in longer passages. Numerals follow the same angular, notched logic and keep the overall tone consistent.
