A heavy, blocky display face built from angular, irregular contours with a subtly wavy baseline rhythm. Strokes feel carved rather than drawn, with frequent facets, notches, and asymmetrical corners that give each glyph a slightly different footprint. Counters are generally tight and polygonal, and terminals often flare or pinch, creating a high-impact silhouette. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from letter to letter, emphasizing a handmade, cut-out look over strict geometric consistency.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, title cards, game or video thumbnails, packaging accents, and event promotions. It can also work for logos or wordmarks where a deliberately offbeat, hand-cut personality is desired, but its strong texture makes it less appropriate for dense body copy.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical, mixing a spooky, Halloween-like edge with comic, cartoony energy. Its jagged facets and uneven rhythm suggest handcrafted signage, playful horror titles, and irreverent retro graphics rather than formal editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum personality and impact through exaggerated weight, irregular letter widths, and chiseled, angular forms. It prioritizes expressive silhouette and a handcrafted, cut-paper feel to create a distinctive, one-off display voice.
Capitals are especially assertive and poster-ready, while the lowercase maintains the same angular language and irregular details, keeping the texture consistent in longer lines. Numerals match the chunky, faceted construction, reading clearly at display sizes with a deliberately quirky stance.
