A condensed, irregular display face with heavy, solid silhouettes and many counters that appear closed or reduced to small notches. Strokes read as low-contrast and upright, but edges are jagged and faceted, like cut paper or chipped paint, creating a lively, uneven rhythm across words. Round forms (O, Q, 0, 8) become dense, almost pebble-like shapes, while straights (E, F, T, I) keep a simple, blocky structure with slightly wobbly terminals. Lowercase shows a notably small x-height with tall ascenders and descenders, reinforcing a spiky vertical texture in text.
Best used for short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, titles, packaging callouts, event flyers, and album or game graphics where texture and personality matter more than sustained readability. It works particularly well at larger sizes on simple backgrounds, where the rough edges and solid interiors can read as a deliberate visual motif.
The overall tone is eccentric and slightly uncanny—part playful, part ominous—thanks to the collapsed interiors and rough, handmade outlines. It suggests DIY craft, spooky novelty signage, and offbeat storytelling rather than polished neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold novelty voice through intentionally imperfect, hand-shaped forms and suppressed counters, creating strong silhouette recognition and a gritty, crafted texture.
Spacing and character widths feel inconsistent by design, producing a jittery cadence that becomes especially apparent in longer lines. The filled-in interior treatment increases mass and visual noise, so legibility drops quickly as size decreases.
