A heavy, angular display face built from faceted strokes and irregular polygonal curves. Letterforms show deliberate roughness: edges kink, bowls become multi-sided, and terminals often end in sharp points or wedge-like cuts, giving a hand-cut or carved silhouette. Proportions are compact with tight apertures and a lively, uneven rhythm across words, while counters remain generally open enough for short text. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with single-storey forms and chunky joins that maintain the same jagged, cut-paper texture as the capitals and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where its jagged texture can be appreciated—posters, display headlines, Halloween or themed event promotions, game/stream titles, and expressive packaging. It can also work for logo wordmarks where a handmade, slightly gothic edge is desired, but is less comfortable for long-form reading due to its busy contours.
The overall tone is mischievous and slightly sinister, like lettering for a fantasy prop, haunted-house poster, or campy horror title card. Its irregular geometry reads as handmade rather than engineered, adding personality and a sense of playful menace.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, characterful voice using intentionally irregular, chiseled shapes—evoking hand-cut signage and playful gothic cues while remaining broadly sans in structure. It prioritizes silhouette and texture for display impact over smoothness or typographic neutrality.
Distinctive spur-like notches and pointed terminals recur across many glyphs, creating strong texture at larger sizes. Numerals share the same faceted construction, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel consistent.
