A compact, heavy display face with sharply angled terminals, wedge-like notches, and chiseled curves that create a cut-paper silhouette. Strokes stay broadly even while corners and joins break into pointed facets, giving many letters a slightly carved, irregular edge. The design mixes rounded bowls (notably in O/0/8/9) with narrow vertical stems and abrupt diagonal cuts, producing a tight, energetic rhythm. Uppercase and lowercase share the same edgy construction, with crisp dots on i/j and strongly stylized numerals that echo the angular, flared endings.
Best suited for short, high-impact display settings such as posters, book or album covers, game titles, and themed event materials. It can also work for logos or wordmarks where a quirky, slightly gothic edge is desired, but it is less appropriate for extended body text.
The overall tone feels spooky and playful at once—like a Halloween poster or a pulpy fantasy title card. Its jagged flare and carved forms suggest drama and mischief rather than refinement, lending an intentionally eccentric, character-driven voice.
The design appears intended to fuse a gothic/blackletter hint with a cartoonish, cut-out construction—prioritizing distinctive silhouettes and theatrical bite over neutral readability. Its angular flares and carved joins aim to evoke genre cues (spooky, fantasy, novelty) while remaining bold and attention-grabbing at display sizes.
The distinctive, knife-like terminals and uneven facets create strong personality but also add visual noise, especially in longer lines. The font’s silhouettes read best when given space, where the sharp cuts and flares can register as deliberate styling rather than texture.
