A very heavy display face with irregular, chipped-looking contours and sharp, triangular notches that interrupt stems, bowls, and terminals. The letterforms feel carved rather than drawn: thick vertical masses are paired with abrupt cut-ins, creating a lively light–dark rhythm and a distinctly faceted silhouette. Counters are small and often angular, and many joins show aggressive points or scooped bites that make the texture bouncy and uneven across a line.
Best used at display sizes where the chipped contours and sharp internal cuts can be appreciated—posters, titles, packaging callouts, and short punches of text. It can work well for spooky-fun themes (Halloween, fantasy, arcade/game vibes) and for comedic, disruptive branding moments, but is less suited to long passages or small UI text.
The overall tone is playful-chaotic with a dark edge, mixing a gothic/old-world flavor with a cartoonish sense of distortion. It reads loud and theatrical—more prankster horror than formal medieval—well suited to attention-grabbing, tongue-in-cheek settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum character through intentionally uneven, carved shapes—evoking a blackletter-adjacent tradition while breaking its rules with wacky distortions and exaggerated bites. The goal is impact and attitude first, with legibility maintained mainly for short, prominent copy.
The distinctive notches and spurs give strong personality but also add visual noise, especially in dense text. Numerals and capitals carry the same jagged, cut-out logic, keeping the style consistent across the set.
