A chunky, faceted display face with irregular, hand-cut geometry and abrupt angle changes throughout. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with corners clipped into polygonal planes that create a fractured silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters are largely collapsed, so letters read as solid shapes with only occasional notches and shallow internal cut-ins, increasing density and mass on the page. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing an uneven rhythm and a lively, imperfect texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, album/track artwork, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for themed titles (spooky, retro, or rebellious) where dense, solid letterforms are desirable, but it will overwhelm at small sizes or in long passages.
The overall tone is boisterous and mischievous, like paper-cut lettering or rough stenciling made for attention rather than refinement. Its jagged edges and heavy black shapes suggest a comic-horror, punk, or Halloween-adjacent energy while still staying playful and graphic.
The design appears intended to mimic improvised, cut-from-black-shapes lettering—emphasizing mass, silhouette, and irregular faceting for a distinctive display voice. It prioritizes character and graphic punch over conventional counter detail and typographic smoothness.
Spacing and sidebearing feel optically inconsistent by design, enhancing the jittery, handmade effect. The numerals match the same polygonal construction and read as bold, poster-oriented figures rather than text companions.
