A condensed, angular display face with irregular, hand-cut outlines and subtly uneven stroke edges. Forms are built from straight segments and sharp corners, with occasional flared terminals and notch-like joins that create a carved, stencil-adjacent feel without true cutouts. Counters tend toward squarish shapes, and curves are simplified into faceted bends, producing a lively, slightly wobbly rhythm across words. The overall texture is dark and graphic, with small inconsistencies in width and alignment that emphasize a handmade construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture and character matter—posters, headlines, title treatments, event flyers, and packaging accents. It can also work for themed interfaces or game/UI moments (menus, chapter cards, badges) where a quirky, stylized voice is desired. For long passages, its angular noise and condensed build will read as intentionally decorative, so larger sizes and generous spacing help.
The font reads as mischievous and slightly eerie—like a quirky horror title card or a homemade poster lettered with a knife-tip marker. Its odd angles and choppy silhouettes give it a campy, theatrical character that feels more playful than threatening, and distinctly decorative rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver an intentionally odd, hand-fashioned display voice—combining condensed, geometric skeletons with roughened, chiseled contours to create a one-off, characterful look. It prioritizes novelty and mood over typographic neutrality, aiming for memorable word shapes and an expressive, slightly spooky personality.
Lowercase shows notable personality, with tall, narrow stems and distinctive, sometimes idiosyncratic bowls and shoulders that add to the irregular cadence in text. Numerals keep the same squared, cut-from-paper logic, staying legible while retaining the jagged, novelty texture. In longer lines, the condensed proportions create strong vertical emphasis and a busy, animated word shape.
