A heavy, block-based display face built from chunky rectangular forms with softened outer corners and frequent angular notches. Many strokes include small internal cutouts and counters that feel punched or carved, creating a stencil-like, distressed rhythm. The silhouettes are tall and compact with tight apertures, and several glyphs show intentional irregularities and quirky joins that make the texture uneven in an expressive way. Overall spacing reads sturdy and dense, emphasizing solid black mass broken by sharp interior details.
Best suited for short display settings where personality is the priority: posters, flyers, event promotions, game titles/UI moments, and bold packaging or merch graphics. It works particularly well when you want a chunky, cutout look that reads as spooky-fun or offbeat.
The letterforms project a mischievous, slightly ominous energy—like cartoon horror or a playful “haunted poster” aesthetic. The notches and cutouts add a rough, hand-tooled attitude that feels rebellious and game-like rather than refined. It comes across as loud, attention-grabbing, and intentionally odd.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through solid black shapes interrupted by decorative carved details, aiming for a quirky, slightly macabre display voice. The consistent use of internal notches and cutouts suggests an intentional “punched/stenciled” motif meant to stand out in large sizes.
The design relies more on silhouette character than counter clarity, so readability drops at smaller sizes. Its distinctive internal cutouts create strong texture in headlines and can produce striking patterns when repeated or set in all caps.
