A heavy, display-oriented face with jagged, wedge-cut terminals and frequent triangular notches that make the silhouettes feel carved rather than drawn. Bowls and curves are rounded but interrupted by sharp cut-ins, giving letters a faceted, slightly serrated edge. Proportions vary noticeably across glyphs, with compact counters and a short, sturdy lowercase; the overall rhythm is lively and uneven in a deliberate, handmade way. Many forms incorporate internal cut-outs and small offsets that read as a built-in shadowy separation in the black shapes, adding depth without fine detail.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and attitude are the goal—posters, game and film titles, seasonal event promotions, themed menus, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It performs particularly well when you want immediate character and a handcrafted, dramatic presence.
The font projects a mischievous, theatrical tone—part spooky, part whimsical—like lettering for magic shows, haunted attractions, or fantasy packaging. Its choppy, carved contours suggest ritual marks or hand-cut paper shapes, keeping the mood energetic and slightly ominous rather than formal.
The design appears intended to evoke cut, carved, or stenciled letterforms with built-in dimensionality, using notches and subtle internal separations to create a shadowed, hollowed impression. Its irregular widths and animated contours prioritize personality and thematic impact over neutral readability.
The distinctive notching creates strong texture at headline sizes, but the busy silhouettes can reduce clarity as size decreases or in long passages. Rounded glyphs like O/Q and the numerals emphasize the carved, faceted approach, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y, Z) amplify the aggressive, blade-like motion.
