A jagged, hand-rendered display face with angular construction and uneven, chiseled-looking strokes. Letterforms are built from sharp wedges and faceted curves, with frequent pointed terminals and a slightly blobby, brushy edge that suggests rough tool marks. Counters tend to be small and tight, and many shapes lean toward simplified, almost rune-like geometry (notably diamond-like rounds), creating an intentionally irregular rhythm across words. Spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, reinforcing an improvised, hand-cut feel while keeping a broadly consistent cap height and x-height.
Best suited to display work such as posters, game titles, book or album covers, and themed packaging where a rough, hand-made voice is desirable. It can also work for short UI labels or chapter heads in fantasy/horror contexts, but is less appropriate for body text or small sizes where the jagged detailing can blur.
The overall tone is eccentric and slightly ominous—like carved signage, fantasy props, or a mischievous horror title card. Its rough edges and angular silhouettes read as energetic and unruly, balancing playful quirk with a dark, occult-leaning atmosphere.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-cut, improvised lettering style with a deliberately irregular texture—prioritizing character and atmosphere over typographic neutrality. Its consistent use of sharp terminals and faceted forms suggests a focus on creating a memorable, prop-like aesthetic for themed display settings.
The diamond-based ‘O’ shape and sharp, hooked diagonals give text a distinctive texture at larger sizes, while the irregular outlines can reduce clarity in long passages. Numerals share the same carved, uneven logic, keeping the set cohesive for headlines and short callouts.
