A decorative serif with irregular, carved-looking contours and a subtly wavy baseline rhythm. Strokes stay mostly low-contrast and fairly monolinear, but terminals and joins flare into wedge-like nicks and notches that make each glyph feel hand-cut. Counters are squarish and tight, bowls are slightly pinched, and verticals often bow or taper, creating a lively, uneven texture in text. The overall proportions feel compact and tall, with crisp corners and occasional exaggerated feet and spurs that add visual jitter.
Best suited to short-form display use where personality is the goal—posters, event flyers, playful packaging, title cards, and novelty branding. It can work for brief bursts of text, but its irregular rhythm and sculpted details are most effective at larger sizes where the notches and wedge terminals stay clear.
The font reads as mischievous and eccentric, with a cartoonish, Halloween-adjacent spookiness rather than overt aggression. Its uneven silhouettes and quirky details give it a homemade, crafty personality that feels more theatrical than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-cut or roughly engraved display style, prioritizing character and surprise over strict regularity. Its consistent set of nicks, flares, and slightly warped stems suggests a deliberate, controlled “wacky” texture aimed at attention-grabbing headlines.
In paragraphs the letterforms create a strong, mottled color and an intentionally irregular cadence, so spacing and shapes draw attention to themselves. The uppercase has a poster-like presence, while the lowercase keeps the same choppy motif, preserving the quirky texture across mixed-case settings.
