A tall, condensed display face built from sharp, tapered strokes that swell into pointed terminals. The letterforms are largely monoline in feel but shaped like cut metal or pen-nib silhouettes, with frequent internal slits and notches that create a split-stem look in curves and verticals. Counters are narrow and elongated, joins are crisp rather than rounded, and curves are pinched to maintain a consistent, blade-like rhythm across the alphabet. Overall spacing reads tight and vertical, producing a strong columnar texture with distinctive, decorative silhouettes.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, and stylized packaging. It can also work for logo wordmarks where a distinctive, ornamental voice is desired, while longer passages may feel busy due to the tight, slit-like details.
The font projects a mischievous, slightly dark tone—part carnival poster, part storybook gothic. Its spiky terminals and slit details add drama and a hint of mystery, while the exaggerated narrowness keeps it playful and oddball rather than traditional or formal.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a one-off decorative personality through repeated blade-like terminals and carved-in negative shapes, prioritizing character and silhouette over neutrality. The consistent narrow build and dramatic detailing suggest an intention to evoke vintage-spooky and theatrical display typography in a compact footprint.
The design’s signature is the repeated use of tapered, spear-point endings and interior cut-ins that echo across many glyphs, giving the text a cohesive, emblematic pattern. Numerals follow the same narrow, pinched construction, helping mixed text feel consistent in display settings.
