A jagged, hand-cut display face with irregular contours and intentionally uneven stroke edges. The forms feel chiseled and faceted rather than smoothly drawn, with occasional sharp nicks and tapered terminals that create a broken, carved rhythm across words. Counters are simple and sometimes lopsided, and curves are rendered as multi-sided arcs, producing a blocky, polygonal silhouette. Spacing and letterfit read naturally in text, but the per-glyph outlines remain visibly inconsistent in a way that emphasizes a handmade texture.
Best suited to short display settings where texture and personality are desirable: posters, headlines, event promos, seasonal/Halloween graphics, game UI labels, and expressive packaging. It can work for brief passages at larger sizes, but the rough edges and irregularity are most effective when allowed to read as a graphic element rather than continuous body text.
The overall tone is quirky and eerie—somewhere between Halloween signage, pulp-horror titling, and DIY craft lettering. Its wobble and roughness add energy and humor, giving text a mischievous, slightly menacing character without becoming illegible.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-carved or torn-paper letterforms, prioritizing tactile irregularity and a distinctive silhouette. It aims to deliver instant character and atmosphere through rough geometry and deliberately imperfect finishing.
Uppercase shapes lean toward compact, emblem-like silhouettes, while lowercase introduces more bounce and idiosyncratic structure. Numerals share the same cut-out texture, keeping the set cohesive for short callouts and badges.
