A heavy, angular display face with sharp, chiseled terminals and irregular, hand-cut contours. Strokes are mostly straight-edged with abrupt direction changes, producing a fractured rhythm and uneven internal counters. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with slightly inconsistent widths and quirky curves that keep the silhouette lively and unpredictable. The numerals and lowercase echo the same carved, spiky construction, maintaining a cohesive texture across the set.
Best suited to display sizes where the carved details and spiky terminals can be appreciated—such as posters, title treatments, haunted-house or seasonal promotions, and branded headlines for horror-leaning projects. It works well in short bursts (titles, labels, pull quotes) where texture and atmosphere matter more than sustained readability.
The overall tone feels eerie and theatrical, like distressed lettering cut from wood or stone for a haunted notice. Its jagged edges and uneven rhythm suggest tension and mischief rather than refinement, lending a camp-horror, Halloween-adjacent flavor to headlines and short phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate atmosphere through aggressive silhouettes and handcrafted irregularity, evoking traditional blackletter-inspired forms filtered through a rough, horror-themed cut. The consistent use of sharp notches and faceted strokes suggests an aim for dramatic impact and a deliberately unsettling texture.
In text lines, the dense black shapes create strong word silhouettes, while the irregular detailing can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The most distinctive character comes from the sharply notched joins, wedge-like serifs, and deliberately imperfect outlines that read as handmade rather than geometric.
