A highly stylized display face with alternating heavy, blotted strokes and hairline, needle-like terminals. Many counters are reduced or fully closed, creating solid black silhouettes in letters such as O, D, P, and several numerals, while other forms rely on wiry strokes and sharp hooks. Proportions are condensed with a lively, irregular rhythm: stems can swell abruptly, bowls vary in size, and crossbars and diagonals often taper to fine points. The overall texture is intentionally uneven, mixing soft, rounded masses with scratchy, calligraphic flicks and occasional jagged joins.
Best suited to short display settings where its dramatic contrast and collapsed interiors can be appreciated—posters, headlines, title cards, packaging, and entertainment or event graphics. It can also work as an accent font in branding systems when used sparingly and at generous sizes.
The font reads as mischievous and theatrical, combining spooky, storybook energy with a handmade ink-and-pen attitude. Its solid, mask-like interiors and exaggerated contrasts give it a slightly macabre, vintage-flavored mood, while the inconsistent stroke behavior keeps it playful rather than formal.
This design appears intended to create maximum character through extreme stroke contrast and intentionally irregular construction, leaning into filled counters and silhouette-like shapes for a bold, graphic impact. The goal is expressive display typography with a handmade feel rather than even, text-oriented consistency.
Letterforms show pronounced personality differences from glyph to glyph (for example, some characters are almost monoline hairlines while others are heavy blocks), producing a deliberately unruly color in text. The numerals follow the same approach, pairing chunky fills with thin, curling strokes, which helps maintain a cohesive novelty character across the set.
