A chunky, irregular sans with visibly hand-cut contours and uneven stroke edges. Forms are built from blunt, angular strokes with occasional soft rounding, producing a chiseled silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters tend to be small and slightly off-center, and the rhythm is intentionally inconsistent, with subtle wobble in verticals and varying terminal shapes. Lowercase is compact with sturdy bowls and short extenders, while figures are blocky and emphatic, keeping a consistent handmade texture across the set.
Best suited to short display copy such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and cover titles where the handmade texture can be seen clearly. It can also work for playful branding and comic or zine-style layouts, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The overall tone feels playful and mischievous, with a DIY, cut-paper or stamped quality that reads as friendly rather than severe. Its roughness suggests an informal, craft-oriented voice with a hint of spooky or storybook character—suited to expressive, attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to emulate hand-drawn or hand-cut lettering with a bold, graphic presence and an intentionally imperfect finish. Its irregular outlines and compact counters prioritize personality and visual impact over strict typographic regularity.
The texture is carried by alternating straight and faceted curves, giving many letters a slightly carved look. Spacing and widths feel intentionally uneven, which adds charm in display settings but can make long passages feel busy at smaller sizes.
