A condensed decorative serif with irregular, hand-drawn contours and sharp, pinched terminals. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness, but the outlines wobble subtly, creating a lively rhythm across words. The serifs are wedge-like and clawed, with occasional notches and tapering ends that give letters a slightly prickly silhouette. Curves (like O/C/G) are narrow and pointed at the top and bottom, while verticals are tall and slightly flared, producing a compact, animated texture in text.
Best suited to short-form display use such as posters, titles, packaging, and cover typography where its spiky texture can read as intentional character. It can also work for themed captions or pull quotes when set at moderate-to-large sizes to preserve the quirky details.
The overall tone is playful and eerie at the same time—suggesting haunted-house signage, mischievous fantasy, or Halloween-adjacent branding. Its odd little spikes and uneven finish feel intentionally “off,” leaning into a quirky, characterful voice rather than polish or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate decorative “character font” impression through narrow proportions, uneven outlines, and sharp serifed terminals—prioritizing mood, novelty, and memorable word shapes over quiet readability.
Word shapes appear tightly packed due to the narrow proportions, and the distinctive pointed bowls and sharp serifs become a strong repeating motif. Numerals follow the same jagged, tapered logic, maintaining the font’s theatrical personality in mixed settings.
