This typeface uses sharply tapered strokes and wedge-like terminals that create an energetic, cut-paper silhouette. Uppercase forms are tall and narrow with uneven internal proportions, while round letters (like O and C) are drawn as slightly squashed, asymmetric bowls with pronounced thick–thin transitions. Many strokes end in pointed or blade-like tips, and curves often resolve into sudden angles, giving the design a jagged rhythm. Counters are generally open and simple, and the overall drawing feels intentionally irregular, with per-glyph width and stroke emphasis shifting to heighten character.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and themed event materials where the spiky contrast and irregular rhythm can be a feature. It can work well for playful horror, retro novelty, or theatrical branding, but will be less comfortable for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is theatrical and mischievous, with a hint of vintage horror poster styling. Its spiky tapers and quirky proportions read as whimsical rather than severe, making it feel more like a stylized display voice than a neutral text face.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive display personality through tapered strokes, angular terminals, and deliberately quirky proportions, evoking hand-rendered lettering with a dramatic, high-contrast flair.
The numerals match the letterforms with strong diagonals and tapered joins, and several lowercase letters include distinctive, calligraphic flicks (notably in descenders and terminals). Spacing and widths appear intentionally varied, reinforcing a hand-cut, expressive texture across lines of text.
