A chunky, angular display face built from faceted strokes and sharp corner breaks, as if cut from paper or carved with a rough chisel. Letterforms show intentionally uneven geometry and variable widths, with inconsistent curves replaced by polygonal segments and abrupt terminals. Stems are heavy and slightly wavering, counters range from tight to open, and several glyphs lean into off-kilter proportions for a deliberately unstable rhythm. Numerals and capitals echo the same jagged construction, producing a strongly graphic, high-ink silhouette in text.
Best used at display sizes where the faceted shapes and irregular rhythm can be read clearly—posters, punchy headlines, covers, and attention-grabbing packaging. It also fits playful or spooky themed applications such as party promotions, casual game interfaces, and novelty branding where character matters more than long-form comfort.
The overall tone is mischievous and unruly, with a crafty, handmade feel that reads as comedic rather than polished. Its jagged edges and slightly medieval/blackletter echoes give it a playful “spooky-fair” character—more funhouse than historical reproduction.
The font appears designed to simulate an intentionally rough, hand-made construction—prioritizing personality, texture, and surprise over typographic regularity. The goal seems to be an energetic, slightly gothic-tinged novelty voice that stands out immediately in short lines of text.
In continuous text the irregular widths and angular joins create a lively, bouncy texture; spacing and silhouette carry more of the personality than internal detail. The design holds together through consistent faceting and stroke weight, even as individual glyphs vary in stance and shape.
