A chunky all-caps-and-lowercase sans with heavy, compact forms and an intentionally irregular outline. Stems and bowls stay largely monolinear, but edges wobble and facets appear chipped or cut, creating a hand-made silhouette. Counters are small and often angular, and several letters show slight twists or leaning inner shapes that add motion without becoming truly cursive. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, giving the text a bouncy rhythm and an uneven, cut-paper texture.
Best suited to display settings where personality matters more than neutral readability—posters, headlines, covers, packaging, and event flyers. It works well for short lines of copy, logos, and themed graphics that benefit from a rough, animated texture.
The font reads as mischievous and theatrical, with a comic, slightly spooky energy. Its uneven contours and blocky shapes suggest DIY lettering, evoking poster art, novelty signage, and playful horror or circus-inspired graphics.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, characterful sans that feels hand-cut and slightly chaotic while remaining structurally simple. Its irregular rhythm and chipped facets prioritize expressive impact and a memorable silhouette over typographic restraint.
At text sizes the dense fill and tight apertures can reduce clarity, while at larger sizes the rough geometry becomes a distinctive visual feature. Numerals and capitals match the same jagged, hand-formed logic, supporting a consistent display voice across headlines and short phrases.
