A heavy, blocky sans with intentionally irregular contours and chiseled, angular terminals. Strokes stay broadly monolinear, but edges wobble and corners break into faceted cuts, creating a rough-hewn silhouette. Counters are small and sometimes asymmetrical, and the overall rhythm is bouncy, with uneven widths and slightly inconsistent proportions across glyphs. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, while capitals read like carved shapes, emphasizing mass and texture over precision.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where its jagged silhouette can be appreciated. It works particularly well for seasonal Halloween graphics, playful horror themes, game UI/title screens, and bold packaging or stickers where high-impact lettering is needed.
The letterforms project a mischievous, slightly eerie energy—more Halloween-cartoon than formal gothic. Its rough-cut geometry and uneven rhythm feel handmade and rebellious, lending an energetic, comic tone that can read as spooky or playful depending on color and setting.
The design appears intended to mimic cut-paper or roughly carved lettering, prioritizing bold presence and characterful texture over typographic neutrality. Its irregular geometry and compact counters aim to deliver immediate visual personality and a thematic, illustrative feel.
The numerals and punctuation-like shapes (e.g., the ampersand in the sample) match the same faceted, cutout construction, supporting cohesive display use. In longer lines the dense black shapes create strong texture, so generous tracking and larger sizes help preserve character separation.
