A heavy, high-contrast display face with blackletter-adjacent silhouettes and deliberately irregular, chiseled terminals. Strokes are predominantly vertical with sharp wedge-like serifs, notched joins, and occasional bulbous curves that create a jumpy rhythm from letter to letter. Uppercase forms feel tall and imposing, while lowercase mixes sturdy stems with hooked descenders and asymmetric bowls, giving the texture a hand-cut, poster-like presence. Counters are generally tight and angular, and the overall color is dense and emphatic.
Best suited to short display settings such as posters, headlines, title cards, packaging callouts, and logo or wordmark experiments where its unusual texture can be a focal point. It can also work for themed materials—festivals, Halloween or fantasy-adjacent graphics, and playful editorial openers—when used in restrained amounts.
The font projects a mischievous, storybook energy—part medieval signboard, part carnival bark, with a slightly spooky, tongue-in-cheek edge. Its exaggerated shapes and uneven details make it feel characterful and one-off rather than neutral or sober.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke a blackletter-like tradition while intentionally breaking regularity with quirky cuts, hooks, and varied curves. The goal is high-impact personality and a memorable silhouette rather than smooth readability or typographic neutrality.
The design relies on distinctive silhouettes and dramatic terminals more than on fine internal detail, which helps it hold up at large sizes. In continuous text it produces a strongly textured, dark line, so spacing and size will significantly affect readability.
