This typeface uses sharply tapered strokes that flare into triangular blades and needle-like terminals, creating a carved, cut-paper silhouette. Curves are often interrupted by small notches and pointed insets, producing an intentionally uneven, fractured rhythm across the alphabet. The proportions feel compact with tight sidebearings, while individual letters show slight width variation that adds a hand-cut, irregular cadence. Counters are generally open but shaped by wedge intrusions, and joins are frequently sharpened into spikes rather than smoothed, giving the overall texture a jagged, high-tension look.
Best suited to display use where its pointed terminals and notched curves can be read as intentional texture—posters, title cards, packaging accents, and promotional graphics for spooky or mysterious themes. It works especially well for short bursts of text such as headlines, logos, and pull quotes, and can be paired with a simple text face for longer reading.
The overall tone reads ominous and performative—more theatrical than gory—like lettering meant for haunted attractions, occult props, or a stylized fright-comedy title. The razor-like cuts and abrupt tapers add suspense and nervous energy, while the consistent silhouette keeps it cohesive rather than chaotic.
The design appears intended to evoke a spooky, cut-and-carved aesthetic through consistent wedge tapers, sharp terminals, and deliberate disruptions of otherwise classical letterforms. Its goal is to deliver immediate mood and character while remaining legible enough for headline-length messaging.
In text settings, the spiky inktrap-like cutouts and narrow joins can create a busy texture at small sizes; it benefits from generous tracking and clear contrast with the background. Numerals and capitals keep the same blade-and-notch logic, helping headlines and short phrases feel unified.
