A heavy, blocky display face built from irregular, banner-like outer silhouettes with jagged crowns and slightly wavy sides. Each glyph reads as a solid slab with carved, hollow interior strokes that form the letter shapes via negative space, producing a cutout/knockout look. Counters are small and idiosyncratic, terminals taper to points, and many forms show asymmetry and intentionally uneven rhythm, giving the line a lively, hand-cut texture. Spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, while the overall vertical presence remains strong and compact.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, event titles, game/film headings, stickers, and brand marks that benefit from a spooky or quirky voice. It can work on packaging and merchandise where bold silhouettes are needed, but it is less appropriate for long passages or small-size UI text due to the intricate internal cutouts.
The overall tone is spooky and mischievous, with a gothic/horror flavor softened by a cartoonish, crafty energy. The torn, serrated outlines and internal carvings suggest handmade signage, haunted-house titling, or stylized fantasy props rather than formal text typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold silhouette with personality, using hollowed internal strokes to create a carved-from-black-paper effect. Its variable, hand-shaped rhythm prioritizes atmosphere and memorability over neutral readability, aiming for expressive display typography that feels crafted and slightly ominous.
In the sample text, the dense black outer shapes create a strong stripe on the line, while the hollow interiors do most of the legibility work; this makes the font feel best at larger sizes where the cutouts don’t visually fill in. The distinctive top “crown” motif repeats across letters and figures, helping unify otherwise irregular shapes.
