A decorative serif with deliberately uneven, hand-cut contours and frequent notches that create small breaks in bowls and terminals. Strokes feel carved rather than drawn, with subtly variable thickness and sharp, wedge-like serifs that can look chipped or bitten away. Round letters such as C, G, O, Q, and e show interrupted curves, while verticals often flare into tapered, blade-like endings. Overall spacing and glyph widths vary, giving the line a lively, slightly unsettled rhythm while remaining readable at display sizes.
Best suited to short, attention-getting text such as posters, headlines, event graphics, book covers, and playful branding where texture and character are desirable. It can also work for packaging or labels that benefit from a handcrafted, slightly off-kilter tone, but the irregular details make it less appropriate for long-form reading or small UI sizes.
The font conveys a mischievous, homemade energy—part craft, part oddball theatrical—suggesting playful eccentricity rather than polish. Its cutout nicks and angular serifs add a lightly spooky or folkloric flavor that feels more like props and posters than formal typography.
Likely designed to deliver an intentionally imperfect, hand-worked look—evoking cut paper, carved lettering, or worn print—while maintaining enough structure to stay legible in display settings. The recurring notches and wedge serifs suggest a coherent system aimed at visual charm and eccentric personality over neutrality.
Uppercase forms tend to read as bold silhouettes with pronounced wedge terminals, while the lowercase introduces more whimsy through irregular shoulders and quirky counters (notably in a, g, and s). Numerals follow the same broken-curve motif, with 0/8/9 showing distinctive inner cutouts that reinforce the stencil-like character.
