A tall, condensed display face with very thin strokes and square, unbracketed slab terminals that read like small caps or notched serifs. Letterforms are largely monoline and upright, with slightly irregular outlines and subtle kinks that create a hand-drawn, cut-paper feel rather than strict geometric precision. Counters tend to be narrow and rectangular, curves are minimized, and joins often resolve into sharp corners. Spacing appears tight and vertical, producing a dense, rhythmic texture in text.
Best suited to short display settings where its condensed proportions and quirky slabs can be appreciated—posters, title treatments, packaging labels, and book or album covers. It can work for themed headings and pull quotes, but the thin strokes and busy texture make it less comfortable for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is eerie and whimsical, with a scratchy, off-kilter personality that suggests vintage horror, oddball carnival ephemera, or Halloween-season graphics. Its thin, angular build feels nervous and theatrical, turning even neutral copy into something stylized and slightly uncanny.
The design appears intended to deliver a strongly characterful, condensed slab look with a handcrafted edge—prioritizing mood and silhouette over neutrality. Its angular construction and lightly irregular finishing point toward expressive display typography for themed, attention-grabbing use.
Capitals and lowercase share a similarly narrow silhouette, and several glyphs show deliberate asymmetries or small flicks at terminals that keep the texture lively. Numerals follow the same condensed, angular logic, maintaining the font’s distinctive, spiky rhythm across mixed content.
