A jagged, hand-cut display face with angular construction and rough, irregular edges that mimic carved or brush-chopped strokes. Forms lean on straight segments and sharp corners, with occasional notches and wedge-like terminals that give each character a slightly different footprint. Counters are simple and often faceted, and rounds are interpreted as polygonal shapes rather than true curves. Spacing and letterfit feel intentionally uneven, creating a lively, staccato rhythm across words while remaining readable at display sizes.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where its rough texture can read as intentional—posters, event flyers, game titles and UI labels, packaging accents, or chapter/opening headers. It works particularly well when you want a handmade, slightly wild tone rather than clean typographic neutrality.
The font projects a playful, offbeat energy with a primitive, handmade flavor—more impish than polished. Its sharp, choppy texture suggests folk craft, campy horror, or fantasy ephemera, lending text a slightly unruly, storybook character.
The design appears intended to evoke an intentionally imperfect, hand-hewn look—like letters cut with a knife or chisel—while keeping familiar proportions for straightforward reading. Its irregular rhythm and sharp terminals are geared toward expressive branding and themed display settings rather than long-form body text.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same rugged vocabulary, and numerals follow suit with the same carved, angular logic. The overall color is dark and textured, with enough irregularity to feel expressive without collapsing into illegibility in short headlines.
