A heavy, marker-like display face with irregular, jagged contours and a deliberately uneven stroke edge that feels cut or torn rather than mechanically drawn. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with chunky bowls, blunt terminals, and frequent angular kinks that interrupt curves. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, contributing to a bouncy rhythm in text. The lowercase is simplified and sturdy, with single-story forms and compact counters that stay legible at larger sizes despite the rough perimeter.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, splashy headlines, event promos, packaging accents, and entertainment graphics. It’s particularly effective when you want a hand-rendered, slightly creepy or mischievous flavor, and it works well at large sizes where the rough edge texture can be appreciated.
The overall tone is mischievous and slightly ominous—like hand-painted signage for a haunted attraction or a DIY punk flyer. Its wobble and roughness read as energetic and irreverent, favoring personality over polish.
This design appears intended to mimic bold, hand-drawn lettering with a deliberately irregular outline, prioritizing expressive texture and quirky shapes over typographic smoothness. The goal is an attention-grabbing display voice that reads as handmade and characterful.
Round characters like O/Q and numerals (notably 8 and 0) become faceted, almost pebble-like shapes, reinforcing the irregular silhouette. The font holds together through consistent weight and texture, but the intentional inconsistency in outline and proportions makes it feel animated and one-off.
