A heavy, chunky display face with irregular, hand-cut contours and a distinctly faceted silhouette. Strokes are thick with subtly shifting widths, and the outlines wobble in a controlled way, giving each glyph a carved, stamped feel rather than geometric precision. Terminals tend to be abrupt and angular, counters are tight and sometimes pinched, and the overall rhythm is bouncy due to uneven shoulders, asymmetrical joins, and slightly inconsistent sidebearings. Numerals and capitals carry the same rugged, cut-paper massing, creating a dense, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited for posters, splashy headlines, and short branding phrases where its rugged texture can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging, event flyers, and seasonal or novelty themes that benefit from a bold, hand-rendered blackletter flavor, but it’s less appropriate for small text or dense paragraphs due to its tight interior spaces and heavy color.
The tone is mischievous and theatrical—suggesting old-time posters, haunted-house bravado, and comic roughness. Its jagged friendliness reads more “handmade and noisy” than refined, lending an energetic, slightly ominous character that’s well-suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to translate blackletter-inspired forms into a bold, hand-drawn display style that feels cut, stamped, or carved. Its deliberate irregularity prioritizes personality and impact over strict consistency, aiming for a lively, artisanal look in large-scale typography.
In longer settings the heavy weight and tight counters create a dark typographic color, and the irregular contours add constant motion across a line. The strongest impact comes at larger sizes where the faceting and cut-in notches remain legible and feel intentionally crafted rather than accidental.
