A slanted, high-contrast display serif with sharply tapered strokes, wedge-like serifs, and frequent pointed terminals. Letterforms feel intentionally warped: curves pinch and flare, bowls lean and swell unevenly, and several glyphs introduce small spur-like projections that break smooth outlines. The rhythm is irregular and lively, with bouncy spacing and a slightly unstable baseline feel in text, while the overall color stays dark and punchy due to heavy main strokes and tight counters in places. Numerals follow the same stylized logic, mixing strong diagonals with abrupt hairline cuts and dramatic joins.
Best used for headlines, poster titles, short blurbs, and branding moments that benefit from a quirky, offbeat personality. It can add character to packaging, event promos, or themed graphics where an expressive, slightly chaotic rhythm is desirable, and it will read most confidently at medium-to-large display sizes.
The tone is mischievous and theatrical, leaning into a hand-cut, cartoonish energy rather than refinement. Its swashy, spiky details and elastic shapes suggest humor, surprise, and a slightly spooky-fun flair, making it feel more like a character voice than a neutral typographic tool.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, one-off display voice by exaggerating serif wedges, tapering, and irregular swelling curves. Rather than optimizing for text uniformity, it prioritizes expressive silhouettes and energetic movement to create memorable, characterful word shapes.
In continuous text, the strong slant and uneven proportions create a pronounced sense of motion, with some glyphs appearing to “kick” outward via hooks and wedge terminals. The short lowercase structure and busy silhouette make it better suited to larger sizes where the internal shapes and sharp detailing remain clear.
