An expressive contrasted sans with sharply tapered terminals and wedge-like joins that create a carved, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes swing between thin hairlines and bold, inky masses, producing a lively rhythm and frequent dark spots at corners and curves. Shapes are intentionally irregular in width and contour, with slightly eccentric proportions and asymmetric details that keep lines of text animated and varied.
Best suited to display settings where personality is the goal—posters, book covers, game titles, seasonal promotions, and expressive branding. It can work for short bursts of copy (taglines, pull quotes, menu sections) when set with generous size and spacing to keep the sharp details clear.
The overall tone feels mischievous and theatrical, with a hint of spooky, Halloween-like character. Its jagged elegance and swashy tapers suggest folklore, fantasy, and handmade signage rather than restrained, modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-shaped lettering with crisp cuts and calligraphic contrast, delivering a distinctive, narrative voice. It prioritizes character and motion over strict uniformity, aiming for memorable titles and decorative typography.
In text, the strong contrast and pointed terminals generate a sparkling texture, while the uneven widths and dramatic shapes can make longer passages feel busy. The numerals and capitals carry the same angular, cut-paper energy, reinforcing a cohesive display personality.
