A chunky, ink-heavy display face with irregular, rough-cut contours and visibly uneven stroke edges. The letterforms are blocky and compact in their internal structure, with small counters that often feel pinched or off-center, and a slightly wobbly baseline rhythm. Terminals frequently end in blunt wedges or torn-paper-like points, giving strokes a carved or chiseled look rather than smooth curves. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally inconsistent, handmade texture across both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings like posters, headlines, title cards, and packaging where texture and personality are more important than prolonged readability. It can work well for horror-comedy, Halloween, indie game UI titles, zines, or loud promotional materials, especially at larger sizes where the rough edges become a feature rather than a distraction.
The overall tone is mischievous and unruly—more campy than refined—with a hint of horror-comic energy. Its heavy silhouettes and jagged edges suggest something hand-cut, stamped, or scraped into place, creating a loud, attention-grabbing voice that feels theatrical and slightly chaotic.
The design appears aimed at delivering an expressive, handmade display look—evoking cut-paper shapes, chiseled signage, or distressed stamping—while keeping letterforms recognizable enough for punchy titles and playful branding.
In text lines the dense black shapes create a strong wall of color, while the irregular outlines keep the texture lively. Numerals and punctuation-like forms carry the same wedgey, distressed behavior, helping maintain a cohesive ‘cut-out’ personality across the set.
