A chunky, block-based display face built from heavy rectangular silhouettes with irregular, crown-like notches along the top edges. Each glyph is formed as a filled outer mass with small, carved-out counters and interior slits, creating a hollowed, cutout look that reads like negative-space inlays. Strokes and side bearings vary noticeably from letter to letter, with uneven widths, occasional tapering, and slightly wavy sides that suggest hand-cut construction. Terminals are blunt and angular, corners are sharp, and counters are small and sometimes off-center, reinforcing the rough, collage-like rhythm across text.
Best suited for display work such as posters, event graphics, album art, and punchy headlines where its bold silhouettes and hollowed details can read clearly at larger sizes. It can also work for logos or packaging that want a handmade, spooky-comic personality, and for seasonal or themed materials where an intentionally irregular texture is desirable.
The overall tone is playful but menacing—like Halloween signage, DIY zines, or vintage monster-movie titling. Its jagged crowns and pinched interiors add a mischievous, slightly chaotic energy that feels handcrafted rather than polished. The dense black shapes with bright internal cutouts give it a dramatic, poster-ready presence.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut paper or stencil lettering: a heavy outer block paired with carved inner shapes that create character through negative space. The irregular top notches and variable widths prioritize attitude and silhouette recognition over smooth text color, aiming for expressive, attention-grabbing display typography.
In the sample text, the tight internal openings and irregular spacing make long passages feel busy; the strongest results come from short runs where the distinctive silhouettes can be read as shapes. The carved counters stay consistent as a motif across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a unified cutout identity despite the intentionally uneven letterforms.
