A compact, heavy display face with angular, cut-in terminals and slightly jagged edges that read as hand-drawn or roughly carved. Strokes are predominantly straight with occasional kinked curves, creating a chiseled silhouette and an uneven texture across the line. Counters tend to be tight and geometric, and the overall rhythm is lively due to small inconsistencies in width, angles, and shoulder shapes. Numerals and capitals follow the same sharp, notched construction, keeping the set visually cohesive.
Best suited for short display settings such as posters, titles, album/film art, event flyers, and punchy brand marks where a gritty, handmade tone is desired. It can work well for Halloween or horror-adjacent themes, as well as quirky retro signage and packaging, especially when set at medium to large sizes.
The font conveys a gritty, haunted-house energy—playful rather than refined—mixing a retro poster feel with a rough, handmade edge. Its irregularities add personality and motion, suggesting something mischievous, eerie, or offbeat.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with a deliberately rough, hand-rendered finish. Its condensed proportions and chiseled details prioritize character and atmosphere over neutral readability, aiming to evoke a carved or cut-paper look in bold headline contexts.
Spacing and sidebearings appear relatively tight, which amplifies density and impact in headlines. The sharp internal corners and narrow apertures can darken in smaller sizes, while larger settings emphasize the carved, distressed texture.
