A sharp, calligraphic display face with chunky stems and pronounced stroke contrast, set on a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are built from tapered, wedge-like terminals and blade-shaped serifs that flare and pinch, giving strokes a carved, brush-cut feel rather than a smooth geometric construction. Curves are slightly lopsided and counters vary in openness, while joins and shoulders show lively, hand-driven irregularity. Spacing and widths are uneven by design, creating a bouncing rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, book or game titles, and packaging where its jagged calligraphic personality can be read at size. It can also work for thematic event materials or branding that wants a playful, eccentric edge rather than neutrality.
The overall tone is theatrical and impish—more “spooky fun” than formal. Its jagged flares and animated silhouettes suggest fantasy titles, playful horror, and quirky storytelling, with a deliberately off-kilter energy that feels handmade and expressive.
This design appears intended to deliver a one-of-a-kind, hand-rendered display voice—combining calligraphic slant with irregular, blade-like terminals to produce a lively, slightly chaotic texture. The goal is character first: strong silhouettes, animated rhythm, and a memorable, decorative bite.
In text samples, the strong diagonals and aggressive terminals create a dark, textured color that can look busy at smaller sizes, while larger settings emphasize the distinctive swashes and pointed corners. Numerals and capitals share the same flared, cut-in look, helping mixed-case compositions stay visually cohesive.
