A decorative, condensed display face with sharp, tapered terminals and frequent wedge-like notches that give strokes a carved, blade-cut look. Letterforms are mostly upright with compact proportions, narrow counters, and a lively, uneven rhythm across the alphabet. Curves (C, O, G) feel pinched and slightly irregular, while verticals are dominant and often end in pointed tips; joins and diagonals (K, V, W, X) emphasize angularity. Lowercase echoes the same cut-in detailing, with distinctive, narrow ascenders and compact bowls, keeping a consistent, chiseled silhouette across letters and numerals.
Well suited to attention-grabbing display work such as posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, and themed packaging where personality matters more than neutrality. It can work especially well for seasonal or entertainment contexts (e.g., events, games, fantasy or horror-comedy titles) when set at larger sizes.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical, reading like a stylized “spooky-fun” headline treatment rather than a traditional text face. Its sharp points and carved details suggest fantasy, magic, and Halloween-adjacent themes, while the irregularities keep it lighthearted and offbeat.
Likely designed to provide a one-of-a-kind, character-driven display voice by combining condensed proportions with carved, spiky details. The aim appears to be instant visual flavor and memorability in short-form typography.
The face maintains strong silhouette clarity at larger sizes, but the interior cut-ins and narrow counters make it best suited to short strings and generous tracking. Numerals and capitals share the same pointed, carved detailing, helping mixed-case settings retain a unified, characterful texture.
