This typeface uses tall, condensed letterforms built from mostly straight strokes with clipped corners and occasional wedge-like terminals. Curves are minimized and often faceted into angular segments, creating a chiseled, cut-paper feel rather than smooth geometry. Stroke widths stay fairly consistent but show deliberate irregularities in edges and joins, giving a slightly handmade rhythm. Counters are narrow and rectangular, and several glyphs introduce asymmetry or uneven overshoots that keep the texture lively in text.
Best suited for display applications where character is more important than neutrality: posters, event flyers, game titles, themed packaging, and logo wordmarks. It works especially well when you want an eccentric, handcrafted look and can give it room to breathe. For longer reading, larger sizes and generous tracking help keep the angular details from visually crowding the line.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a lightly eerie, Halloween-adjacent energy. Its angular, not-quite-uniform construction reads as crafty and theatrical—more costume-shop lettering than formal display. The texture feels animated and a bit unruly, lending personality and movement to short phrases.
The design appears intended to provide a distinctive, one-off voice through angular construction and controlled irregularity. By combining condensed proportions with faceted shapes and quirky details, it aims to feel handmade and expressive while remaining legible for short-to-medium display text.
In the sample text, the condensed proportions create strong vertical momentum, while the irregular terminals and faceted curves add visual noise that becomes more prominent at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same chiseled, cut-corner logic, helping headlines feel cohesive even when mixing letters and numbers. The design’s unevenness appears intentional and consistent, functioning as a defining stylistic feature rather than a flaw.
