A heavy, decorative display face with chunky silhouettes and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Strokes are broadly consistent but punctuated by scooped bites, angular notches, and blade-like spurs that create a jagged contour around otherwise rounded bowls. Serifs read as exaggerated flares rather than classic bracketed forms, and many joins taper into pointed hooks that add a cut-paper, hand-carved feel. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is irregular in a controlled way, emphasizing shape quirks over uniform text texture.
Best suited for short display settings where the jagged details can be appreciated: Halloween promotions, haunted attraction materials, spooky party invites, game or podcast branding, and themed packaging. It works particularly well at large sizes for titles and pull quotes, where its irregular edges create instant atmosphere.
The letterforms project an eerie, haunted-house tone with a tongue-in-cheek edge—more theatrical than truly sinister. The spiky tapers and bitten curves evoke Halloween signage, spooky cartoons, and vintage monster-movie title cards, giving headlines a loud, attention-grabbing personality.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate thematic impact through exaggerated, spurred terminals and carved-in notches, prioritizing character and mood over neutral readability. Its consistent decorative vocabulary across letters and figures suggests a purpose-built headline font for seasonal or genre-driven graphics.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same decorative logic, with distinctive terminals that remain consistent across the set. Numerals follow the same chunky, notched construction, making them visually compatible for posters and short bursts of text.
