A heavy, black display face with jagged, wedge-like serifs and flared terminals that create a chiseled, cut-paper silhouette. Strokes stay broadly consistent but frequently taper into sharp points, producing a lively rhythm and slightly uneven texture across words. The lowercase has a tall presence with compact counters, and many forms feel hand-shaped rather than geometric, with small notches and angular inflections that emphasize a quirky, carved look. Numerals and capitals share the same emphatic, spurred construction for strong headline impact.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, titles, logos, packaging callouts, and themed event materials. It works especially well where a quirky, dramatic mood is desired and where the design can give it room to breathe at larger sizes.
The overall tone is whimsical and slightly menacing, like a playful horror or vintage carnival poster. Its spiky details and animated curves give it a loud, characterful voice that feels intentionally eccentric rather than formal or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver an offbeat, high-impact display voice by combining stout letterforms with sharp, flaring terminals and irregular, hand-cut-looking contours. It prioritizes character and visual punch over neutrality, aiming for memorable shapes that read as playful and slightly uncanny.
In running text the dense weight and pointed terminals create strong color and busy edges, so spacing and size will significantly affect clarity. The font’s personality comes through most in the distinctive spur-like ends and the alternating narrow/wide shapes that keep lines visually bouncing.
