A condensed, hand-drawn display face with irregular, chiseled contours and a slightly wobbly baseline rhythm. Strokes are mostly monoline but frequently kink and taper into sharp corners, producing a carved, cut-paper feel rather than smooth curves. Counters are compact and somewhat inconsistent, with squared-off bowls and angular joins that keep letterforms lively and uneven. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and simplified construction, while caps and figures maintain the same rough, blocky silhouette.
Best suited for display settings where texture and personality are the goal—posters, punchy headlines, quirky branding, and illustrated packaging. It can also work for game interfaces or titles that want a playful, handmade tone, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the irregular details remain legible.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with an intentionally imperfect, homemade energy. Its jagged edges and uneven cadence suggest humor and whimsy, leaning into a slightly spooky or folkloric “oddity shop” personality without becoming overly dark.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, characterful voice through deliberately imperfect outlines and angular, cut-in shapes. Its condensed build and bold silhouettes prioritize attention and mood over neutrality, aiming for expressive typography that feels crafted rather than mechanical.
Many characters feature asymmetric terminals and small notches that read like knife cuts, giving the texture a tactile, handcrafted presence. The condensed proportions and tight internal spaces can make long passages feel dense, but they help the face punch through in short bursts.
