This typeface uses chunky, dark strokes with pronounced wedge-like tapers and blade-shaped terminals. Letterforms are intentionally irregular, with a hand-cut rhythm that mixes rounded bowls with sharp interior notches and asymmetrical joins. Curves often pinch into points, while horizontals and diagonals flare into triangular ends, creating a jittery silhouette. The lowercase shows simplified, single-storey constructions and uneven stroke endings, and the numerals keep the same cut-paper sharpness with slightly inconsistent widths for a handmade feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, seasonal promotions, packaging fronts, and display titles for games or entertainment. It can also work for pull quotes or section headers where an eerie, handcrafted voice is desired, but will be less comfortable for long-form reading.
The overall tone feels spooky yet mischievous, like handmade title lettering for a haunted fair or a campfire tale. Its pointy terminals and quirky proportions add tension, while the rounded counters keep it approachable and fun rather than grim. The texture reads as crafted and slightly chaotic, enhancing an eerie, playful mood.
The design appears intended to emulate hand-made spooky display lettering with exaggerated points and carved-looking terminals, prioritizing silhouette and atmosphere over strict geometric regularity. Its irregular rhythm and tapering strokes aim to deliver instant character and themed impact in headline contexts.
In text settings the strong shapes create a lively, bouncy line, but the frequent sharp terminals and uneven widths generate a busy texture at smaller sizes. The most distinctive character comes from the repeated triangular flares and hooked finishes, which give words a serrated edge and a consistent “cut-out” personality.
