A sharp, angular display face with chiseled, uneven strokes and slightly wavering verticals that feel hand-cut rather than mechanically drawn. Forms lean on straight segments, beveled corners, and occasional hooked terminals, producing a jittery rhythm and intentionally inconsistent detailing. Counters are narrow and rectangular, curves are minimized, and many glyphs show subtle width and stroke-shape variation that adds a rough, carved texture. Uppercase and lowercase share a related construction, with compact bowls and a segmented, almost stencil-like geometry.
Best suited to short, bold applications where character matters more than neutrality—posters, headlines, packaging accents, album art, and game or event titles. It can also work for zines and themed graphics where a rough, eccentric display texture is desirable, rather than continuous reading.
The font projects a wacky, handmade energy—part comic unease, part DIY sign lettering. Its spiky corners and restless outlines create a playful-but-edgy tone that can read mischievous, spooky, or punk depending on context.
The design appears intended to mimic improvised, hand-rendered lettering with a deliberately irregular, angular build. By favoring beveled strokes and minimized curves, it aims to deliver a distinctive, one-off personality that stands out in display settings.
At text sizes the irregular stroke edges and tight, boxy counters can reduce clarity, while larger settings emphasize the distinctive cut-paper/knife-carved character. Numerals follow the same squared construction, keeping the overall voice consistent across alphanumerics.
