This typeface uses chunky, compressed letterforms with sharp, knife-like corners and irregular contours. Strokes are heavy and dark with intermittent internal cuts and notches that read like carved voids, creating a distressed, hand-made silhouette. Curves are simplified into faceted shapes, and terminals often taper or break abruptly, producing a rough rhythm across words. Spacing and sidebearings feel slightly uneven by design, reinforcing an intentionally imperfect, cutout-like texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, title treatments, packaging, or event graphics where a distressed, spooky voice is desired. It can work for game interfaces or streaming thumbnails when used at larger sizes and with generous tracking to keep the jagged details from clumping.
The overall tone feels unsettling and theatrical, like hand-lettered signage for a haunted attraction or a pulp horror cover. Its jagged edges and scarred interiors add a sense of danger and decay, while the simplified, blocky construction keeps it bold and somewhat playful rather than purely grim.
The design appears intended to simulate hand-cut or carved lettering with aggressive, uneven edges and deliberate imperfections, delivering a bold headline face that immediately signals suspense and macabre fun.
In longer lines the texture becomes a dominant feature, as the repeating nicks and internal highlights form a lively, noisy color. Numerals and caps carry the same carved treatment, helping headlines maintain a consistent, poster-ready impact.
