A heavy, chunky display face built from broad strokes with sharply chiseled terminals and irregular, blade-like cut-ins. The letterforms lean on angular geometry and sudden point transitions rather than smooth curves, creating a carved, notched silhouette throughout. Counters are generally compact and often asymmetrical, with pointed internal joins (notably in shapes like B, P, R, and 8). Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-hewn rhythm while keeping a consistent cap height and sturdy overall color on the page.
Best suited to large, attention-grabbing settings such as Halloween promotions, horror-themed posters, haunted house signage, game or film titles, and bold packaging or stickers. It performs well for short headlines, logos, and single-word treatments where the serrated silhouette can be appreciated without crowding.
The jagged edges and dramatic, toothy terminals give the font a sinister, haunted tone—like signage cut from wood or stone for a macabre attraction. Despite the menace, the forms stay bold and cartoonish enough to feel theatrical and fun rather than purely grim, making it read as spooky entertainment more than historical seriousness.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate seasonal impact through exaggerated weight and aggressively cut terminals, mimicking a carved or clawed look. Its irregular widths and chiseled detailing suggest a deliberate “hand-made” menace aimed at playful horror and themed display typography.
The most distinctive signature is the repeated use of wedge-shaped notches and pointed fins on stems, bowls, and crossbars, which creates strong texture in words and a lively silhouette at large sizes. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and frequent sharp details can visually clump, so it benefits from generous sizing and comfortable tracking for longer lines.
