A heavy, irregular display face with chunky silhouettes and jagged, faceted edges throughout. Strokes feel carved rather than drawn, with abrupt corners, small notches, and uneven terminals that create a restless rhythm. Counters are compact and occasionally angular, and spacing feels intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing a handmade, cutout look. Lowercase forms are simplified and sturdy, and the numerals echo the same rough-hewn geometry for a cohesive texture.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, packaging callouts, and title treatments. It’s especially effective for Halloween, spooky-comedy, fantasy, or arcade/game-related graphics where an intentionally rough, handmade texture adds character. Reserve it for display sizes where the jagged details and tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is mischievous and unruly, with a slightly eerie edge—more “creature feature” fun than formal blackletter. Its rough-cut shapes and bouncy irregularity give it a loud, expressive personality suited to attention-grabbing moments. The texture reads as energetic and offbeat, leaning into quirky, genre-friendly drama.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, one-off display voice that feels hand-cut and deliberately imperfect. Its primary aim is expressive texture and mood—suggesting carved or torn shapes—rather than typographic neutrality or extended reading comfort.
The design borrows some blackletter-like massing and vertical emphasis, but breaks it up with exaggerated, uneven contours and playful inconsistencies. At text sizes it produces a dense, noisy color, while at larger sizes the faceted cut-ins and angular terminals become the main character.
