A heavy, chunky serif display with compact counters and a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel. Many glyphs feature a distinctive serrated bite along the left side of the strokes, creating a sawtooth edge that repeats consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Terminals tend to be blunt, with sturdy slab-like serifs and rounded outer curves, producing a dense silhouette and strong dark texture in text. Spacing and widths vary from letter to letter, reinforcing an intentionally uneven rhythm suited to display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact setting such as posters, splashy headlines, packaging callouts, party or event promotions, and playful children’s materials. It also works well for Halloween-style or novelty applications where a rough, cutout texture is desirable.
The repeated “chewed” edge and exaggerated weight give the face a humorous, slightly chaotic personality. It reads as bold and attention-seeking, with a comic, prankster energy that feels at home in whimsical or spooky-fun settings rather than formal editorial typography.
The design appears intended to turn a familiar serif framework into a one-off decorative statement by adding a consistent serrated edge and irregular rhythm. The goal is immediate visual flavor and memorability—less about neutrality, more about character in display typography.
In continuous text, the serrations create a lively shimmer along vertical edges, which adds character but can also introduce visual noise at smaller sizes. The numerals follow the same rugged motif, keeping the overall set cohesive for headlines that mix letters and figures.
