A condensed, hand-drawn display face built from angular, broken strokes and sharp terminals. The letterforms are tall and compact with tight interior spaces, giving the set a carved, notched silhouette. Strokes stay fairly even overall, but edges wobble subtly and joins feel slightly irregular, reinforcing a drawn-by-hand construction. Capitals and lowercase share a consistent verticality, while small asymmetries and varied sidebearings create a lively, slightly unpredictable rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, title treatments, packaging, and book or album covers where its narrow footprint and edgy texture add personality. It can work well for themed branding or event graphics that want a gothic or spooky flavor without looking overly formal.
The tone reads gothic and theatrical with a mischievous, storybook edge—more quirky than severe. Its sharp corners and narrow stance suggest old-world signage and Halloween-leaning drama, while the handmade quirks keep it informal and characterful.
The design appears intended to emulate quick, stylized hand lettering with a carved or cut-paper feel, prioritizing character and atmosphere over typographic neutrality. Its condensed build and sharp detailing aim to deliver high visual impact in compact horizontal space.
Distinctive hooked and wedge-like endings, along with occasional spur-like cuts, give the font a scratchy, chiseled texture at both large and medium sizes. The compressed proportions heighten impact in short phrases, but the tight counters and busy edges can make long passages feel dense.
