A slanted, very thin display face built from narrow, calligraphic strokes with frequent breaks and carved-out notches that create a hollowed, stenciled impression. The letterforms mix long, sweeping curves with sharp, blade-like terminals and occasional hooky finishes, giving the outlines an irregular, hand-rendered rhythm. Many glyphs show offset interior cuts and small voids that read like subtle shadowed details rather than solid counters, and the overall spacing feels lively and slightly unpredictable, reinforcing its decorative, variable-width texture.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, titles, and short headlines where its carved, shadowy detailing can be appreciated. It works well for horror, fantasy, or magic-themed packaging and album/cover art, and can add character to logos or wordmarks when used sparingly.
The cutout strokes and dagger-like terminals give the type a theatrical, arcane tone—somewhere between spellbook ornament and quirky gothic signage. It feels playful but ominous, with a sense of motion and instability that suits dramatic or fantastical themes.
The design appears aimed at delivering a distinctive, hand-inked italic voice with cutout detailing that suggests depth and shadow without adding weight. Its emphasis is on mood and texture over neutrality, targeting expressive, theme-forward typography.
In text, the frequent gaps and notches become a prominent texture, so the face reads best when allowed generous size and breathing room. Rounded letters (like C, O, Q) emphasize sweeping, crescent-like arcs, while diagonals and joints in letters like K, M, N, V, W add a jagged, energetic cadence.
