A heavy, angular display face built from irregular, cut-out polygons with sharply notched corners and uneven stroke joins. Glyphs show intentional wobble and asymmetry, with varying internal counters and occasional wedge-like cut-ins that create a rough, handmade rhythm. Terminals are blunt and fractured rather than smoothly finished, and overall spacing feels lively and slightly erratic, reinforcing the impression of letters assembled from torn or carved shapes.
Best suited for short headlines and graphic text where personality is the goal: posters, event flyers, playful branding moments, game or cartoon titling, and seasonal designs like Halloween or camp-themed materials. It works particularly well when set large with generous line spacing so the irregular silhouettes can breathe.
The font reads as playful and mischievous, with a zany, off-kilter energy that suggests cartoons, spooky fun, and DIY poster-making. Its jagged geometry gives it a slightly ominous edge while staying lighthearted and humorous rather than severe.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-cut or improvised letterform process—like paper cutouts or rough stencil carving—delivering an energetic, intentionally unrefined display voice for expressive, decorative typography.
The texture is consistently rough across caps, lowercase, and numerals, prioritizing character over regularity. At smaller sizes the busy angles and inconsistent counters may reduce clarity, while at large sizes the cut-shape details become a strong graphic feature.
