The Cantor distribution is the probability distribution whose cumulative distribution function is the Cantor function.
This distribution has neither a probability density function nor a probability mass function, as it is not absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure, nor has it any point-masses. It is thus neither a discrete nor an absolutely continuous probability distribution, nor is it a mixture of these. Rather it is an example of a singular distribution.
Its cumulative distribution function is sometimes referred to as the Devil's staircase, although that term has a more general meaning.

“Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.”
