A sharp, angular display face built from faceted strokes and clipped corners, with strong straight segments and minimal curvature. Many glyphs include internal “crack” or scratch-like cutouts that read as distressed texture rather than smooth counters, giving the letters a carved, chipped appearance. Terminals are abrupt and blade-like, and several forms show irregular interior notches and asymmetric detailing that keeps the rhythm lively. Overall proportions vary by character, and the texture is prominent enough to be visible at headline sizes while becoming busy at small sizes.
Best suited to short display settings such as horror or Halloween headlines, game titles/UI labels, event posters, and packaging that benefits from a distressed, prop-like voice. It can work for badges, chapter heads, or logo marks where texture is a feature; for longer text, the internal cracking and irregularity can reduce readability.
The font projects a spooky, mischievous energy—part carved-stone, part scrawled-and-chopped construction. Its distressed cuts and jagged geometry evoke horror props, dungeon signage, or hand-hewn fantasy lettering, with a playful “wacky” unevenness that feels more theatrical than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic carved or cut lettering with deliberate imperfections—mixing faceted construction with distressed interior cuts to create a dramatic, handmade texture. Its goal is impact and character over neutrality, delivering an expressive, themed display tone.
Uppercase letters tend to feel more monolithic and sign-like, while lowercase forms are more eccentric, with sharper hooks and irregular bowls. Numerals follow the same chipped, faceted logic, maintaining the cracked interior motif for consistency across the set.
