A chunky, heavy sans with angular, chipped-looking contours and irregular, hand-cut geometry. Strokes are broadly monolinear, but edges wobble and corners break into facets, creating a deliberately rough silhouette. Counters are small and often squared or notched, and many glyphs show asymmetric joins and tilted terminals that disrupt a uniform rhythm. The lowercase is tall with compact bowls and sturdy stems, while numerals follow the same blocky, uneven construction for a cohesive, cutout-like texture.
Best suited for display use such as posters, titles, packaging callouts, and short promotional lines where a bold, quirky voice is desired. It also fits games, event flyers, and themed graphics (especially spooky or retro-cartoon contexts) where texture and attitude matter more than long-form readability.
The overall tone is mischievous and slightly menacing, like a poster face made from torn paper or carved shapes. Its uneven rhythm and sharp facets add energy and grit, pushing it toward Halloween, punk, and campy horror aesthetics rather than clean modern neutrality.
The design appears intended to mimic a rough, hand-cut or carved lettering style while staying within a sans framework. Its goal is to deliver high-impact shapes with a quirky, slightly sinister personality and strong silhouette recognition in headline contexts.
In text settings the irregular widths and jagged outlines create strong visual texture and a bouncy baseline feel, making it most convincing at larger sizes where the interior notches and counters remain clear. Tight spacing or small sizes may amplify the dense black mass and reduce counter readability in letters like a/e/s and in closed forms such as 8/9.
