A jagged, hand-cut display face with compact proportions and irregular, faceted outlines. Strokes are heavy and mostly uniform, with abrupt wedges, notches, and blade-like terminals that create a chiseled silhouette. Curves are minimized into angular segments, counters are tight and often asymmetrical, and the overall rhythm feels intentionally uneven, like letters carved from rough material rather than drawn with smooth tools. Spacing appears somewhat inconsistent by design, reinforcing an analog, distressed texture in text settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as horror titles, Halloween promotions, haunted-attraction signage, and game or film branding. It can also work for chapter heads, pull quotes, and packaging where a rough, spooky texture is desired and generous sizing preserves its angular detail.
The letterforms convey an eerie, storybook horror tone—more ‘handmade occult’ than sleek cinematic terror. Sharp tapers and broken edges give it a tense, uneasy energy, while the playful irregularity keeps it from feeling purely formal or traditional.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-hewn lettering with an ominous edge—prioritizing silhouette, texture, and mood over smooth readability. Its consistent chiseled terminals and irregular construction suggest a deliberate ‘carved’ aesthetic aimed at dramatic display typography.
In longer lines the dark, chunky shapes create strong texture and high visual noise; distinctive silhouettes help at display sizes, while smaller sizes may lose interior detail where counters pinch down. The numerals and caps share the same carved geometry, supporting consistent titling and poster work.
