A heavy, high-contrast display face with broadly proportioned letterforms and crisp, upright construction. Strokes are dominated by solid black masses that are selectively carved with irregular internal knockouts, producing a hollowed, textured look inside the counters and along some stems. Edges are generally sharp and clean, while the interior cutwork introduces a jagged, hand-cut rhythm that varies from glyph to glyph. Serifs and terminals lean toward sturdy slab-like shapes, and the overall silhouette reads strong and blocky even at smaller sizes.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as posters, event titles, cover art, packaging callouts, and branded wordmarks where the carved interior detail can be appreciated. It also works well for themed applications—horror, magic, mystery, or retro entertainment—rather than extended reading.
The irregular inner cutouts give the font a haunted, occult-tinged tone—like letters stenciled, carved, or weathered over time. It feels theatrical and attention-seeking, with a vintage horror or sideshow energy that’s more about mood than neutrality.
The design intent appears to be a bold display face that fuses sturdy, old-style letter skeletons with expressive interior cutouts, mimicking carved or stenciled material texture. The goal is strong impact at large sizes with a distinctive, characterful surface treatment.
Texture placement is inconsistent by design, so repeated letters can feel lively rather than strictly uniform. The numerals and capitals carry the strongest presence, while the lowercase maintains the same carved treatment for a cohesive set. In longer text, the interior detailing becomes a repeating pattern that can visually vibrate, making spacing and size important for clarity.
