A heavy, upright display face built from chunky, angular letterforms with noticeably irregular contours, as if cut from paper or painted with a dry, uneven tool. The silhouettes are bold and compact, but each glyph shows lively variation in stroke thickness and sidebearings, producing a distinctly uneven rhythm. Counters and interior details are treated as carved-out cavities and slits, with jagged notches and occasional wedge-like openings that create a hollowed, cutout impression. Terminals tend to be blunt and squared, and curves are simplified into faceted, almost polygonal arcs, keeping the overall texture dense and high-impact.
Best suited for posters, covers, packaging callouts, event flyers, and title treatments where texture and personality are desirable. It performs especially well for short headlines, branding accents, and display typography that can leverage its rough cutout detailing at larger sizes.
The tone is raw and mischievous—part DIY zine, part haunted carnival poster. Its rough cutouts and jittery spacing feel energetic and rebellious rather than refined, giving text an intentionally distressed, handmade bite.
The design appears intended to emulate a handmade cut-paper or gouged-ink aesthetic, using bold masses and deliberate interior voids to create a striking inverted/cutout look. Its variable glyph widths and rough edges prioritize expressive character and visual noise over uniform typographic smoothness.
In running text, the strong interior cutouts remain a defining feature, but the irregular widths and idiosyncratic shapes create a choppy color that reads best at larger sizes. The numerals share the same carved, hand-hewn construction, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
