A heavy, blocky display face with irregular, carved-looking silhouettes and distinctive internal knockouts that read like hollowed counters and gouged highlights. The letterforms sit on compact rectangular “slabs” with uneven, serrated top edges and subtly wobbly sidewalls, creating a hand-cut, stamp-like geometry rather than a mechanically uniform outline. Interior shapes are narrow and often off-center, producing a high-ink, low-counter look that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals while allowing noticeable per-glyph variation in width and cutout placement.
Best suited to large display settings such as posters, event flyers, and punchy headlines where the carved silhouettes and hollow details remain clear. It also fits themed applications like Halloween promotions, game or comic titling, and bold packaging or merch graphics that benefit from a rugged, cutout look.
The overall tone is theatrical and mischievous, mixing horror-poster tension with a cartoonish, DIY craft energy. The jagged crowns and hollowed interiors suggest something carved from paper or chipped from a block, giving the font a haunted-fun personality rather than a polished, serious one.
The design appears intended to emulate a hand-hewn block or stencil-cut aesthetic, using irregular outlines and intentional hollowing to create a dramatic, high-impact texture. The goal is expressive display impact and thematic flavor rather than neutral readability.
In text, the dense black massing and small, irregular apertures create a strong texture that can appear busy at smaller sizes. The most legible results come from generous spacing and short bursts of copy where the rhythmic top-edge notches and internal hollows can be appreciated as a pattern.
