A heavy, angular display face with irregular, chipped contours and occasional interior nicks that give the letterforms a cut-out or carved look. Strokes are blocky with sharp corners, uneven edges, and subtly inconsistent outlines, creating a lively, handmade rhythm across words. Counters tend to be small and sometimes skewed or diamond-like, while diagonals and terminals break cleanly into pointed facets. Spacing reads slightly erratic and widths vary by glyph, reinforcing the distressed, improvised construction.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, title sequences, and music or event graphics where a gritty attitude is desired. It can also work for logos or badges when the rough, handmade edge is part of the brand voice; for longer text, larger sizes and generous leading help maintain clarity.
The font projects a raw, rebellious tone—part punk flyer, part spooky comic title card. Its jagged silhouette and rough texture feel loud and mischievous, suggesting grit, danger, and playful menace rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to mimic distressed, hand-cut lettering—like paper stencils, carved shapes, or rough print artifacts—while keeping a sturdy, bold presence for display use. Its controlled inconsistency and sharp geometry aim to deliver strong silhouettes with an intentionally chaotic finish.
In the sample text, the texture stays legible at larger sizes, but the chipped edges and tight counters can make long passages feel dense. Numerals and capitals carry especially strong silhouette character, with several shapes leaning into diamond and wedge motifs that heighten the dramatic, cut-paper feel.
