A chunky, slanted display face with irregular, angular outlines and a carved, faceted feel. Strokes are heavy and somewhat wedge-ended, with visible kinks and corners that make curves look polygonal. Letter widths vary noticeably, and the rhythm is intentionally uneven, creating a restless texture across words. Counters tend to be small and unevenly shaped, and terminals often sharpen into points or blunt planes rather than smooth rounds.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, cover art, packaging callouts, and title treatments where its jagged personality can be a feature. It can also work for themed graphics (e.g., playful Halloween or fantasy-adjacent designs) and punchy captions when used sparingly.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a deliberately unruly energy that reads more like a playful prop or comic-title treatment than a conventional text face. Its jagged silhouette and exaggerated slant suggest movement and a slightly mischievous, spooky-adjacent theatricality.
The design appears intended to prioritize personality over neutrality, combining heavy strokes with uneven, chiseled contours to create a one-off, expressive display voice. The variable widths and angular construction look purposeful, aiming for an energetic, handmade effect rather than mechanical consistency.
In running text, the strong irregularity becomes a dominant texture, so the font works best when set with generous spacing and at larger sizes. The figures and punctuation adopt the same faceted, hand-cut character, helping maintain a consistent voice across headlines and short phrases.
