A heavy, jagged display face built from angular, chiseled-looking strokes and uneven polygonal counters. Letterforms have deliberately irregular geometry, with wobbly edges, sharp corners, and occasional skewed joins that make each glyph feel cut or torn from paper. Curves are minimized and when present appear faceted; bowls and apertures are often pinched into diamond-like shapes. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, creating a bouncy rhythm and a rough, hand-constructed texture in text.
Best suited for posters, headlines, packaging callouts, event flyers, and logo wordmarks where a loud, quirky personality is desired. It’s especially effective for seasonal or theatrical themes (horror-lite, Halloween, punky party promos) and any project that benefits from a handmade, cutout aesthetic rather than clean readability at small sizes.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, with a slightly spooky, B-movie energy. Its irregular silhouettes and sharp facets read as intentionally messy and energetic—more comic and Halloween-adjacent than refined or formal.
The design appears intended to prioritize character and silhouette over typographic regularity, using exaggerated angles and uneven construction to create a one-off, expressive voice. It aims to feel hand-cut and intentionally imperfect, turning inconsistency into visual energy.
In running text the texture becomes dense and busy, so the strongest impact comes from short bursts where the silhouettes can do the work. The figures match the same cutout-like construction, with angular forms and emphatic weight that keeps numerals visually competitive with capitals.
