This typeface is built from angular, faceted strokes with frequent kinks and sharp corners, producing a chiseled, cut-paper silhouette. Terminals often finish in wedge-like points and small, broken serif-like nubs, while curves are minimized into straight segments for a polygonal rhythm. The letterforms lean consistently, with slightly uneven stroke flow and subtly inconsistent joins that reinforce a deliberately handmade, improvised construction. Counters are compact and somewhat irregular, and the overall color on the page stays relatively even despite the fractured outlines.
Best suited for short display copy where its angular texture can carry the message—posters, titles, cover art, merch, and themed packaging. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that benefit from a handcrafted, spiky personality; for longer passages, the busy contours may become visually tiring.
The overall tone feels mischievous and offbeat, mixing a blackletter-adjacent sharpness with cartoonish eccentricity. It reads as intentionally imperfect and energetic, suggesting DIY craft, spooky fun, or irreverent fantasy rather than formal tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, characterful voice by combining a slanted stance with fractured, geometric strokes and pointed terminals. Its irregularities feel purposeful, prioritizing expressive texture and a distinctive silhouette over typographic neutrality.
Caps are tall and structured with pronounced angular shoulders, while lowercase keeps a similarly jagged vocabulary and maintains clear differentiation between characters. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with strong diagonals and abrupt corners that make them visually distinctive in display settings.
