A jagged, angular display face with sharp, knife-like terminals and frequent wedge cuts that create a chiseled silhouette. Strokes are heavy overall but fluctuate subtly, with abrupt tapers and pointed joins that make many letters feel carved rather than drawn. Curves are present but simplified into faceted arcs, and counters tend to be small and uneven (notably in rounded forms), reinforcing a rough, hand-made rhythm. Spacing and widths vary noticeably, producing a lively, uneven texture in words, while the uppercase reads taller and more imposing than the lowercase.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as Halloween promotions, horror or thriller titles, posters, and event flyers where texture and attitude are more important than continuous readability. It can also work for game UI elements, chapter headers, and packaging accents when used at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The font projects a spooky, theatrical energy—part horror title card, part mischievous haunted-house signage. Its sharp edges and irregular cadence feel tense and unstable, while the exaggerated shapes keep it fun rather than grim. The overall tone is dramatic and attention-grabbing, with a campy, monster-movie flavor.
The design appears intended to evoke hand-cut or carved lettering with exaggerated spikes and uneven rhythm, creating instant atmosphere for themed display typography. It prioritizes character and mood over typographic neutrality, aiming for a memorable silhouette in headlines.
Distinctive triangular notches and spear-like ascenders/descenders appear throughout, and several forms lean into asymmetry for effect. Numerals follow the same cut-paper aesthetic, with pointed angles and simplified geometry that favors character over neutrality.
