A chunky, hand-drawn display face built from compact, angular forms with an intentionally uneven rhythm. Strokes are heavy with sharp, chiseled-looking corners and occasional notches, producing a cut-paper or carved feel rather than smooth pen curves. Letters lean subtly backward and vary in width, with lively inconsistencies in bowls, terminals, and counters that reinforce the handmade construction. Lowercase shows a tall, sturdy presence and simplified shapes, while numerals keep the same faceted, blocky logic for a cohesive texture in lines of text.
Well suited for posters, splashy headlines, and short callouts where a bold, characterful texture is desirable. It fits seasonal or themed graphics (especially spooky or fantasy-leaning), comic-style titling, game or event branding, and packaging or stickers that benefit from a handmade, cutout look.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical, mixing a playful cartoon energy with a slightly ominous, gothic-leaning edge. Its roughened contours and irregular silhouettes give it a crafty, DIY attitude that reads as loud, expressive, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, hand-rendered display voice with a deliberately rough, faceted silhouette. Its backward lean and irregular widths emphasize spontaneity and personality over typographic neutrality, aiming for expressive titles and graphic atmospheres rather than extended reading.
In continuous text, the strong black mass and jagged edges create a highly textured line, with counters that can tighten at smaller sizes. The face reads best when given room to breathe (generous tracking and line spacing) to keep letterforms from visually clumping.
