A heavy display face built from chunky, high-contrast strokes and sharply pinched terminals. The outlines feel hand-cut: bowls are irregular, counters are small and uneven, and joins often resolve into pointed wedges rather than smooth curves. Serifs read as blunt, flared wedges with occasional horn-like spurs, giving letters a carved, Gothic-leaning silhouette without strict blackletter construction. Spacing and sidebearings vary noticeably, contributing to a jittery rhythm in words while remaining legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the jagged detailing can read clearly—posters, headlines, album art, packaging, and display graphics. It also fits game titles, fantasy or Halloween-themed materials, and playful branding that wants a loud, quirky medieval edge. Avoid small sizes or dense paragraphs, where the heavy color and tight counters can reduce clarity.
The overall tone is boisterous and mischievous, with a medieval-fair or storybook menace. Its jagged wedges and quirky proportions add a comic, slightly chaotic energy that feels playful rather than formal. The texture is bold and attention-grabbing, suggesting titles meant to entertain or provoke.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, instantly recognizable display voice by combining wedge-serifs, sharp spurs, and intentionally irregular geometry. Its controlled inconsistency and carved-looking terminals aim to create character and texture first, with readability optimized for titles rather than continuous reading.
Uppercase forms are especially emblematic and blocky, while lowercase retains the same angular logic with simplified, stout shapes. Numerals are similarly stylized and compact, matching the font’s cut-paper, spur-and-wedge motif. In longer lines, the uneven internal shapes create a strong dark color that benefits from generous line spacing.
