A heavy, angular display face with an intentionally irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are chunky and mostly monoline in feel, but edges break into sharp facets and wedged corners, creating a chiseled, cut-paper texture. Counters are tight and often asymmetrical, and terminals tend to end in pointed or beveled shapes rather than clean horizontals. The overall rhythm is lively and uneven, with subtle wobble in stems and diagonals that keeps lines of text feeling animated rather than mechanical.
Ideal for display typography where character matters more than smooth readability: horror- and Halloween-themed headlines, event posters, album/track artwork, game titles, and punchy packaging or labels. It can also work as a branding accent font for projects aiming for a scrappy, handmade edge.
The font conveys a mischievous, slightly menacing energy—like a DIY horror poster or a haunted carnival sign. Its rough geometry and exaggerated angles read as playful rather than formal, balancing “scary” with a comic-book attitude.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut lettering—bold shapes carved into angular facets—to create immediate impact and a spooky, tongue-in-cheek tone. Its irregularity and tight internal spaces suggest it was drawn for short, attention-grabbing lines rather than extended reading.
In longer lines, the irregular contours and compact counters create a dense, high-impact texture, making it best when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing. Numerals and capitals share the same jagged, cut-out construction, helping mixed content (titles with dates) maintain a consistent voice.
