A heavy, display-oriented face with chunky, squarish letterforms and a deliberately irregular outline. Strokes are broad and mostly straight, but edges buckle inward and flare outward into sharp nicks and points, creating a carved, notched silhouette. Counters are small and often pinched into diamond- or slit-like openings, and the terminals frequently end in horned corners rather than clean cuts. Spacing and sidebearings feel uneven by design, giving lines a bouncy, unsettled rhythm while maintaining clear, blocky mass.
Best used large, where the cut-in notches and pinched counters remain readable and contribute to the character. It suits posters, event flyers, album or game titles, and short logotypes where a bold, offbeat voice is desired. In running text or small UI sizes, the dense counters and jagged edges are likely to reduce clarity.
The overall tone is mischievous and unruly—part spooky carnival, part comic cutout. Its jagged cuts and pinched counters read as gothic-leaning without being traditional blackletter, pushing a playful “creepy-fun” energy suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate, decorative impact through exaggerated weight and intentionally uneven, carved-looking contours. Rather than neutrality or long-form readability, it prioritizes a distinctive silhouette and a lively, slightly ominous texture that makes titles feel theatrical and custom.
Capitals and lowercase share the same rugged, chiseled logic, producing a cohesive texture across mixed-case setting. The numerals follow the same angular, notched construction, keeping the set consistent for posters and punchy titling. The face tends to create strong black shapes, so interior detail can close up quickly at small sizes.
