A heavy, high-impact display face built from blunt geometric masses and sharp, triangular incisions. Many letters feature collapsed counters or nearly closed apertures, creating solid silhouettes with occasional teardrop and wedge cut-ins that act as internal punctuation rather than traditional bowls. Strokes alternate between flat, rectangular stems and rounded, swollen curves, producing a strongly sculpted rhythm that reads as carved or punched. Terminals are often abrupt, with frequent notches, spikes, and hooked details that make the shapes feel irregular while still following a consistent construction logic.
Best used at display sizes where the carved details and counter behavior remain legible. It works well for posters, attention-grabbing headlines, album or event artwork, packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a bold, eccentric voice. It is less suited to long-form reading or small UI text due to its dense texture and reduced interior clarity.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical—part retro poster, part spooky-fun novelty. Its dense black presence and knife-like cutouts give it a dramatic, slightly gothic flavor, while the rounded blobs and exaggerated joins keep it playful rather than severe. The result feels attention-seeking and characterful, suited to headlines that want to look weird in a controlled way.
The design appears intended to maximize impact through solid forms and distinctive internal cutouts, creating recognizable shapes even in short words. It prioritizes personality and silhouette over conventional readability, aiming for a memorable, novelty-driven display presence.
In text, the frequent counter collapse and narrow interior openings create strong texture and dark color, with letterforms that can merge visually at small sizes. The numerals and capitals share the same carved-notched motif, maintaining a consistent “solid silhouette plus incisions” identity across the set.
