A heavy, display-oriented sans with simplified geometric bowls and a consistent stroke weight. Many glyphs feature distinctive triangular notches and wedge-like terminals that hang below the baseline or cut into joins, creating a chiseled, almost stenciled silhouette. Counters are generally open and rounded, while verticals and diagonals stay crisp and straight, producing a sharp rhythm with frequent spur-like details at the baseline and in interior corners. Numerals and capitals maintain a strong, blocky presence with stylized cuts that keep the overall texture lively rather than strictly uniform.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event promos, themed headlines, logo wordmarks, and packaging where the notched terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works especially well for seasonal or playful-horror themes, kids’ party materials, and eye-catching signage where a quirky voice is desired.
The recurring spikes and notches give the face a mischievous, slightly eerie personality—more playful than threatening. It reads like a themed decorative font designed to feel quirky and animated, with a retro novelty energy that suggests costumes, monsters, or comic signage.
The design appears intended to transform an otherwise straightforward, geometric sans structure into a characterful display face through a single, repeated gimmick: sharp notches and hanging wedge terminals. The goal is instant personality and thematic flavor while keeping letterforms broadly recognizable.
The most salient visual motif is the repeated downward-pointing wedge (and occasional side notches), which creates a consistent “drip/fang” punctuation across the alphabet. In text, these details add character quickly, but they also increase visual noise, making the design feel best when used for impact rather than continuous reading.
