A heavy display face built from chunky, rounded-rect forms with pronounced, pointed flares and notched terminals. Strokes stay broadly even while corners are sculpted into concave bites and small dagger-like spurs, creating a carved, cut-paper silhouette. Counters are tight and often angular, and the overall rhythm alternates between smooth bulges and sudden spikes, giving each glyph a slightly irregular, hand-shaped feel while remaining stylistically consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short display lines such as posters, event titles, game or comic branding, packaging callouts, and seasonal or spooky-themed promotions. It can work for punchy pull quotes or signage when set large, where the carved details and dramatic terminals have room to read cleanly.
The tone reads mischievous and slightly gothic, like a cartoon take on medieval lettering. Its sharp nicks and fang-like terminals add a spooky, campy energy, while the stout proportions keep it friendly rather than severe. The result feels retro-fantasy and theatrical—ideal for attention-grabbing, characterful messaging.
The design appears intended to remix blackletter and old-style gothic cues into a bold, approachable novelty display, emphasizing silhouette, texture, and expressive terminals over neutrality. It aims to deliver immediate personality and a handcrafted, cut-out look that stands out in headline contexts.
In text settings the dense color and tight inner spaces make the texture strong and dark, with decorative terminals doing much of the work. Similar letterforms (notably the rounded bowls and angular joins) remain cohesive, but the many spurs and notches can visually crowd at smaller sizes, so generous sizing and spacing help maintain clarity.
