A heavy, chunky display face built from irregular, faceted silhouettes with torn-looking edges and uneven counters. Strokes feel carved or stamped rather than drawn, with abrupt angles, notches, and occasional bite marks that create a restless outline. Curves are simplified into lumpy polygons, terminals are blunt, and interior shapes vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, emphasizing a handmade, cut-paper rhythm. Spacing and sidebearings appear intentionally inconsistent, contributing to a bouncy, unpredictable texture in words.
Best suited for short, high-impact setting where the rough silhouette can read clearly—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and logo-style wordmarks. It also works well for themed applications like Halloween or alternative-culture graphics, where uneven spacing and jagged contours are desirable rather than distracting.
The font conveys a mischievous, offbeat energy—more prankish than polished—mixing comic roughness with a slightly menacing edge. Its black massing and irregular contours suggest DIY zines, spooky party graphics, and intentionally awkward humor.
The design appears intended to prioritize character over neutrality, using exaggerated black shapes and irregular, chipped contours to create an intentionally imperfect display voice. It aims to feel handmade and disruptive, turning unevenness and distortion into the primary stylistic hook.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rugged construction, and the figures are similarly blocky with angular kinks and asymmetries that keep the set visually cohesive. At smaller sizes the dense shapes and busy edges can collapse, while at larger sizes the cutout texture becomes the main feature.
