A chunky display face with heavily irregular, torn-looking contours and soft, blobby interior counters. The letterforms feel carved or stamped rather than drawn with clean curves: edges wobble, terminals are jagged, and strokes show frequent bulges and nicks that create a noisy silhouette. Spacing and widths fluctuate noticeably from glyph to glyph, and the overall rhythm is intentionally uneven, emphasizing texture over typographic refinement.
Best suited to short, high-impact display settings such as posters, event titles, packaging callouts, album artwork, and playful or spooky branding moments. It works especially well when the goal is to add texture and attitude, and when set at larger sizes where the rough detailing can be appreciated.
The font conveys a mischievous, slightly eerie energy—like a messy rubber-stamp or monster-movie title treatment. Its rough texture reads as rebellious and comedic at once, giving text a loud, tactile presence that feels handmade and unpolished in a deliberate way.
This design appears intended to prioritize character and surface texture—evoking a distressed, handmade impression—over strict uniformity or readability. The consistent roughness across letters and numbers suggests a deliberate, one-off decorative voice for expressive headlines.
Capitals are blocky and assertive, while lowercase remains similarly rugged with simplified shapes and irregular counters that can close up at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same distressed, cut-out texture, maintaining a consistent noisy silhouette across the set.
