A heavy, all-caps-forward display face built from chunky, irregular silhouettes with sharp notches and uneven outer contours. Strokes are mostly straight and angular, but edges wobble and chip as if cut from paper or carved with a dull blade, producing frequent facets and small intrusions. Counters tend to be small and uneven, and rounded forms (like O and Q) become lumpy polygons rather than smooth circles. The texture is consistently rough across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with slightly inconsistent widths and spacing that amplify the handmade rhythm.
This font suits short, high-impact settings such as posters, event flyers, game title screens, album/playlist artwork, and comic or zine-style graphics. It works particularly well when you want letterforms to act as visual texture—on dark themes, themed promotions, or punchy pull quotes—rather than for long reading passages.
The overall tone is mischievous and slightly menacing, blending cartoonish energy with a horror-comic edge. Its broken, torn contours suggest DIY craft, zine culture, or Halloween theatrics, giving text an intentionally unruly presence.
The design appears intended to mimic improvised, hand-cut lettering with deliberate imperfections and a bold silhouette that stays legible at display sizes. Its irregular rhythm and chipped outlines prioritize character and atmosphere over typographic refinement, aiming for expressive, scene-setting typography.
Uppercase reads more assertively than the lowercase, which keeps the same cutout logic but with simpler, chunkier forms and occasional quirky terminals. Numerals follow the same jagged language and feel more illustrative than typographic, making the face best as a texture-forward headline tool rather than a neutral workhorse.
