A very heavy, angular display face with faceted outlines and irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes are chunky and largely uniform, while terminals frequently split into small forks or spurs that create a notched, thorny silhouette. Counters tend to be tight and polygonal (notably in round letters and figures), and the baseline feel is slightly uneven due to varied foot shapes and asymmetric details. Overall spacing reads sturdy but lively, with distinct glyph-to-glyph shape variation that keeps texture active in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, title cards, packaging callouts, event promotions, and logo wordmarks where texture is an asset. It pairs naturally with fantasy, horror, or retro-comic themes, and works well in large sizes where the forked details and faceted counters stay readable.
The tone is medieval and mischievous—part blackletter spirit, part comic roughness—delivering a bold, slightly chaotic energy. Its sharp notches and forked terminals add a theatrical, fantasy-leaning flavor that feels gritty, spooky, and fun rather than refined.
This design appears intended to evoke a chiseled, old-world display voice with exaggerated weight and decorative spurs, prioritizing personality and silhouette over neutrality. The irregular, cut-paper geometry suggests an expressive, handcrafted approach meant to add drama and edge to headlines.
The most recognizable signature is the repeated use of mid-stem spurs and split terminals, which creates a serrated rhythm across words. Round forms are built from straight-ish facets, giving letters and numerals a carved, stencil-like presence even without explicit breaks.
