A decorative display face with tall, condensed proportions and strongly flared, wedge-like terminals. Strokes remain largely even in thickness, while outlines are intentionally uneven, creating a carved or hand-cut effect with small kinks and notches. The letters keep a consistent vertical stance and a steady rhythm, but with lively, irregular edges that add texture. Counters are compact and angular, and the overall silhouette reads as narrow, upright forms with pointed feet and horned tops.
Best suited to display settings where texture and character are desirable: posters, event flyers, packaging accents, book or chapter titles, and game or film titling. It can also work for short pull quotes or signage where a quirky, spooky tone is intended; for longer reading, it’s most effective in short lines at larger sizes.
The font projects a playful-gothic mood—part haunted-house poster, part storybook eccentricity. Its jagged flare and handmade roughness feel theatrical and slightly ominous without becoming fully blackletter, lending a sense of vintage charm and Halloween-style mischief.
Likely designed to deliver an expressive, one-off display voice by combining condensed, upright structures with exaggerated flared terminals and deliberately irregular outlines. The goal appears to be strong instant recognition and thematic atmosphere rather than neutral readability.
The decorative terminals and uneven contours are strong at text sizes shown in the sample, giving words a distinctive silhouette and a “carved” texture. Numerals and capitals match the same flared, jagged language, helping headings and short bursts of copy feel cohesive.
