A heavy, angular display face with chiseled terminals and frequent wedge-like notches that create a cut-paper, spiked silhouette. Strokes stay largely uniform, while corners and joins introduce sharp facets and small triangular bite-outs that add texture. Proportions vary noticeably by letter—some forms feel compact and blocky while others extend with pointed descenders or tails—producing an intentionally uneven rhythm. Counters tend to be small-to-medium and often squared or kinked, and the overall color on the page is dense and assertive.
Best suited for display settings where personality is the priority: poster titles, punchy headlines, event promotions, game/entertainment branding, and expressive packaging. It holds up well at larger sizes where the notches and spikes can be appreciated and where tight texture won’t hinder readability.
The letterforms read as playful and mischievous, with a theatrical, slightly “impish” energy created by the serrated corners and exaggerated points. It suggests a light horror/carnival tone without becoming fully gothic, leaning more toward humorous drama than menace.
The design appears intended to deliver instant character through exaggerated, angular detailing and purposeful irregularity, creating a memorable voice for short-form text. It emphasizes silhouette and attitude over neutrality, aiming to stand out in attention-grabbing applications.
Distinctive pointed terminals on diagonals and curves give many glyphs a hand-cut look, helping short words feel animated and characterful. The numerals match the same faceted language, keeping headings and posters visually consistent.
