A jagged, angular display face with thick, uneven strokes and sharply chiseled terminals. Forms feel cut from rough polygons rather than drawn with smooth curves, with frequent notches, wedge-like counters, and slightly wandering baselines that create an intentionally unstable rhythm. Uppercase and lowercase share the same rough-hewn construction, and numerals echo the same faceted, carved look with irregular widths and off-kilter angles.
Best for Halloween and seasonal graphics, spooky posters, game titles, haunted-attraction signage, and horror-comedy packaging where a rough, cutout voice adds character. It also works well for short callouts, chapter headings, and logo-style wordmarks that can lean into its irregular rhythm.
The overall tone is spooky in a mischievous, cartoon-horror way—more haunted funhouse than gruesome gore. Its broken, pointy silhouettes read as tense and restless, while the exaggerated, handmade irregularities keep it lighthearted and campy.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or carved lettering with a deliberately fractured outline, creating an eerie yet playful display texture. The consistent use of faceted strokes and sharp terminals suggests a focus on atmosphere and instant recognizability rather than neutrality or text readability.
The texture is high-impact at headline sizes, where the crisp corners and cut-in counters are most legible. In longer lines, the constant angular interruptions and varied glyph widths create a noisy color, making it better suited for short bursts of copy than continuous reading.
