A jagged, angular display face built from sharp, faceted strokes that often taper to points, giving the letterforms a chiseled, cut-paper feel. Geometry is irregular and variable from glyph to glyph, with asymmetrical joins, sudden direction changes, and occasional diamond-shaped counters (notably in O/0). Stems tend to be narrow and wedge-like with abrupt terminals, while diagonals dominate many characters, producing a lively, uneven rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same shard-like construction, with exaggerated angles and simplified interior spaces for a bold silhouette.
Best used at display sizes for posters, headlines, packaging, and short bursts of text where its angular personality can read clearly. It’s particularly effective for fantasy and horror-comedy contexts—game titles, event promos, themed menus, and merch graphics—where a handcrafted, rune-like feel is desired.
The overall tone is playful but menacing—evoking cartoon witchcraft, dungeon signage, or a stylized “rune” aesthetic. Its spiky forms and quirky inconsistencies read as intentionally off-kilter, lending a mischievous, DIY energy that feels suited to fantasy and Halloween-adjacent themes.
The design appears intended to prioritize character and atmosphere over typographic neutrality, using sharp wedges, irregular proportions, and faceted counters to suggest hand-cut or carved lettering. The consistent use of pointed terminals and angular construction aims to create an expressive, iconic texture that instantly signals a playful-dark theme.
In longer passages the irregular widths and sharp diagonals create a bouncy texture rather than a smooth typographic color, so spacing and line length have a strong effect on readability. Round characters are typically interpreted as diamonds or angular loops, reinforcing the carved, emblematic look.
