This is an outline display face with jagged, hand-drawn contours that give each glyph a chipped, faceted silhouette. Strokes are reduced to an outer line with an internal cut-out feel, producing airy counters and a lightweight overall color. Many forms show a subtle offset shadow/underlay effect, adding a dimensional, poster-like presence. Proportions vary from glyph to glyph with uneven edge rhythm and slightly inconsistent stroke behavior, reinforcing an intentionally rough, sketched construction.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, cover art, event titles, and branding marks where texture and mood matter more than continuous readability. It performs well at medium to large sizes, especially in single words or compact lines that can showcase the outline and shadowed character.
The font conveys a macabre, gothic tone with a playful, B-movie roughness. Its broken edges and pseudo-3D shading read as eerie and theatrical rather than refined, evoking horror title cards, fantasy ephemera, and Halloween signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a gothic/blackletter atmosphere in an outline, hand-rendered style, prioritizing dramatic silhouette and distressed edge energy. The added shadow-like offset suggests a goal of instant depth and a screen-printed or cut-paper look for display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similarly angular, blackletter-leaning structure, but with simplified, more cartoonish joins and terminals. Numerals follow the same faceted outline logic, keeping the set cohesive while maintaining the irregular, handmade texture.
