A chunky, irregular display face with blunt terminals and a cutout, hand-carved silhouette. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, but edges wobble and corners vary between sharp nicks and softened facets, creating an uneven rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are frequently pinched down or partially collapsed—especially in rounded letters and numerals—so interior space reads as small holes or near-solid blobs. Proportions are compact with short extenders, simple geometric construction, and slightly inconsistent widths that add to the improvised, stencil-like feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where its cutout texture can be appreciated: posters, event titles, playful branding moments, packaging, and themed graphics (especially spooky or quirky). It also works well for logos or badges when used sparingly and with generous sizing and spacing to preserve letter recognition.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, like paper-cut lettering or a rough stamp pulled from a homemade block. Its uneven outlines and occluded counters introduce a hint of creepiness and humor, making it feel more like a prop or headline voice than a neutral text tool.
The design appears intended to mimic rough-cut, handmade lettering with intentionally occluded counters and irregular outlines, prioritizing bold silhouette and characterful texture over neutrality or continuous reading.
The face relies on silhouette more than internal detail, so letters like O/Q/0 and 8/9 become distinctive solid shapes with small apertures; this boosts impact at larger sizes but can reduce quick character discrimination at small sizes or in dense settings. The sample text shows a lively, bouncy texture with noticeable dark spots where counters close up.
