A sharply angular, hand-rendered display face built from blunt strokes and abrupt corners, with frequent triangular nicks and flared terminals that suggest a carved or scratched tool. Many glyphs use boxy bowls and squared counters, while diagonals appear as quick slashes that interrupt otherwise rigid geometry. Stroke thickness stays fairly consistent but the outlines wobble slightly, creating an irregular rhythm and varied sidebearings that make spacing feel lively rather than mechanical. The lowercase is compact with a notably short x-height, and the overall construction favors strong silhouettes over smooth curves.
Works well for headlines in posters, game and streaming graphics, Halloween or fantasy-themed promotions, album/merch typography, and comic-style titles where an edgy handmade texture is desirable. It’s most effective when used sparingly for short phrases, logos, or section headers.
The tone reads as arcane and mischievous—part rune, part comic-book menace—balancing a spooky, ritual-mark vibe with an intentionally wacky, handmade energy. Its jagged details and uneven cadence give it a “one-off” personality suited to expressive, attention-grabbing settings rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke a stylized “carved glyph” aesthetic—deliberately irregular and decorative—while maintaining recognizable Latin letterforms. It prioritizes distinctive texture and thematic flavor over typographic neutrality, aiming for a memorable display voice.
Legibility holds up best at larger sizes where the small notches, sharp joins, and tight counters remain distinct; at small sizes the carved details and uneven widths may visually clog. The font’s character comes from its consistent use of spikes and squared forms, which create a cohesive texture across words.
