A monolinear, upright display face with clean geometric skeletons that are deliberately disrupted by irregular, pitted edges. Strokes are mostly even in weight, with rounded terminals and smooth curves that contrast against the chipped, stippled “bite marks” running along one side of many stems and bowls. Proportions are generally open and readable, with straightforward sans-like construction, while the intentional roughness introduces a jittery rhythm and uneven texture across words and lines.
Best used at display sizes where the edge texture can be appreciated—posters, flyers, packaging callouts, social graphics, and short headlines. It can also work for themed titles or pull quotes when you want readable forms with a conspicuously irregular, handmade finish.
The overall tone is playful and mischievous, like neat lettering that’s been weathered, stamped, or nibbled away. It reads as humorous and offbeat rather than harsh, lending a lightly spooky or crafty feel that suits novelty messaging and attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to balance straightforward, accessible letter construction with a distinctive distressed edge effect, producing a one-off decorative voice that feels intentionally imperfect and characterful.
The distressing is asymmetric and repeatable, creating a recognizable signature texture without fully obscuring letterforms. Numerals and capitals maintain simple, familiar shapes, helping legibility while the edge treatment provides the decorative character.
