A rough, hand-drawn display face with angular, chiseled-looking letterforms and noticeably uneven edges. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform in thickness, with blunt terminals and frequent wedge-like joins that create sharp interior corners. Counters tend toward small, faceted shapes (often diamond-like), and many glyphs show slight asymmetry and variable widths that reinforce an improvised, carved feel. Spacing reads open and lively, with a rhythmic irregularity that stays broadly consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as headlines, poster titles, book or game titling, and thematic packaging where texture and atmosphere matter. It can work for signage and labels that benefit from a handcrafted look, but the rough edges and irregular rhythm make it less ideal for long body copy at small sizes.
The overall tone feels rustic and old-world, like hand-painted signage or letters cut from wood or stone. Its jagged contours and faceted counters add a slightly ominous, mythical energy that can lean toward fantasy or ritualistic poster aesthetics while still remaining playful and handmade.
The design appears intended to simulate an expressive, hand-rendered print style with a carved or cut-letter sensibility. Its consistent heaviness and faceted shapes prioritize character and mood over typographic precision, aiming for strong display impact with a distinctly handmade texture.
Uppercase forms are especially geometric and emblematic, with several characters built from strong diagonals and triangular notches. Lowercase retains the rough texture but becomes more stem-driven and compact, helping mixed-case text remain legible while keeping the same carved, irregular personality. Numerals echo the same angular construction and blunt, brushy edges for a cohesive set.
