A heavy, irregular display face with jagged, wedge-like terminals and a distinctly hand-cut silhouette. Strokes feel carved rather than drawn, with subtly shifting widths, sharp notches, and occasional inward bites that create a rough, distressed edge. The letters lean and wobble slightly, with uneven curves and angular joins that emphasize a lively, handmade rhythm. Counters are compact and sometimes off-center, reinforcing an organic, cut-paper or woodcut impression that stays cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
This font is well suited to headline and titling work for spooky seasonal campaigns, horror or fantasy packaging, poster design, game and stream branding, and cover typography. It also works for short bursts of display copy where a distressed, handcrafted voice is desired rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is eerie and theatrical, evoking haunted attractions, vintage horror titles, and folk-magic ephemera. Its rough edges and spiked terminals suggest menace, but the bouncy irregularity keeps it spirited and campy rather than purely grim.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable spooky display voice through exaggerated weight, rough cut contours, and aggressive terminals. Its controlled inconsistency gives it a handmade authenticity aimed at dramatic, attention-grabbing titles and themed branding.
In text settings the bold color holds together well, while the irregular outlines create strong texture and a noisy rhythm. The distinctive silhouettes are highly characterful, but the dense counters and busy edges suggest it will read best when given room—larger sizes and modest tracking help the shapes breathe.
