A heavy, monoline display face with rounded bowls and frequent pointed, teardrop-like terminals that drop below the baseline and appear at inner corners. Strokes are consistently thick, but many joins are cut with sharp notches and wedge-shaped incisions, creating a carved, slightly “ink-trap” impression. Curves stay broadly geometric, while counters are tightened and asymmetric details add irregular rhythm across letters and figures. Capitals are stout and compact; lowercase forms are similarly bold with distinctive descending hooks and angular cut-ins on letters like a, e, s, and t.
Best suited to short, prominent text—posters, headlines, title cards, and logo wordmarks—where its unusual terminals and notched joins can be appreciated. It can also add personality to packaging and event branding, especially where a quirky or slightly eerie mood is desired.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical, mixing friendly rounded geometry with dagger-like accents. It reads as whimsical and slightly ominous, with a stylized, storybook energy that feels at home in playful spooky or fantasy-leaning settings.
The design appears intended to transform familiar sans-serif proportions into a one-off decorative system by adding consistent droplet terminals and carved notches, creating a memorable silhouette and a lively, irregular rhythm for display typography.
The distinctive droplet terminals and corner notches become a strong repeating motif, making the font highly characterful at larger sizes. Numerals and punctuation echo the same pointed, hanging details, reinforcing the decorative voice across the set.
