A heavy, jagged display face with irregular, chiseled-looking outlines and abrupt, angular terminals. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, while edges wobble and bite inward, creating a distressed silhouette. Counters tend to be boxy and compact, and the overall rhythm feels intentionally uneven, with slightly inconsistent widths and tight interior spaces that emphasize a rugged, cut-from-stone look. Numerals and lowercase follow the same rough geometry, maintaining a cohesive, handcrafted texture across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, titles, and branding moments that want a rough, spooky, or offbeat tone. It can work well for game interfaces, themed events, Halloween or fantasy-adjacent materials, and packaging where a handcrafted, weathered texture adds character. For longer passages, it benefits from generous size and spacing to keep shapes from clustering.
The font projects a playful menace: part haunted-house signage, part DIY medieval placard. Its torn, notched contours and blocky forms read as energetic and oddball, giving text a mischievous, horror-adjacent personality without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-cut, hacked, or eroded block-letter aesthetic—prioritizing characterful texture and an intentionally uneven rhythm over smooth regularity. Its cohesive roughness suggests a one-off decorative voice built to deliver immediate atmosphere in display use.
The texture is driven by outline irregularity rather than added shading or internal effects, so the character comes through most strongly at larger sizes where the notches and nicks are clearly visible. Dense words can look busy because the heavy strokes and compact counters reduce internal air, especially in continuous text.
