A heavy display face with chunky silhouettes and irregular, spiky terminals that feel carved rather than drawn. Strokes stay broadly even while edges wobble and taper into hooks, barbs, and small notches, creating a jagged outline rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are generally open but often pinched or off-round, and several letters show exaggerated top serifs and flared feet that vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally uneven, hand-cut texture.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the spiky silhouette can carry the message—posters, party invites, seasonal signage, game titles, and themed packaging. It can also work for logos or chapter titles when paired with a calmer companion for body copy.
The overall tone is playful-horrific: more haunted funhouse than grim menace. Its sharp protrusions and quirky, lopsided shapes read as spooky and theatrical, suggesting potions, ghosts, and midnight posters with a wink.
The design appears intended to deliver instant seasonal mood through exaggerated, irregular terminals and a carved, thorny contour, prioritizing character and impact over neutral readability. The consistent weight and upright stance keep it stable while the uneven edges provide the creepy-fun personality.
The font’s texture is high-impact at headline sizes, but the persistent edge noise and eccentric terminals can reduce clarity in dense paragraphs. Figures follow the same jagged vocabulary, with bold, simplified forms and occasional interior cut-ins that echo the letter counters.
