A chunky, heavy display face with irregular, hand-cut contours and a distinctly uneven rhythm. Strokes are broad and mostly monolinear in feel, with frequent wedge-like terminals, abrupt angles, and slightly warped verticals that keep letterforms from feeling mechanically consistent. Counters are compact and often asymmetrical, and the overall silhouette reads as torn-paper or cutout shapes rather than smooth curves. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across characters, reinforcing a lively, off-kilter texture in words and lines of text.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, titles, and bold headings where texture and personality are the priority. It also fits themed packaging and event flyers—especially playful seasonal concepts—where a rough, handmade look helps set tone. For longer passages, the strong irregularity and heavy massing are likely to become visually tiring.
The font conveys a mischievous, cartoon-horror energy—more playful than truly menacing. Its jagged edges and quirky proportions suggest Halloween theatrics, comic chaos, and tongue-in-cheek drama, making it feel loud, expressive, and a bit unruly.
Designed to deliver immediate character through exaggerated weight and intentionally imperfect construction, prioritizing expressive silhouettes over typographic neutrality. The goal appears to be a distinctive, one-off display voice that reads clearly at larger sizes while projecting a handmade, cutout aesthetic.
Uppercase forms lean toward blocky, poster-like shapes, while lowercase retains the same rough-cut logic with simplified construction and occasional quirky details (notably in bowls and diagonals). Numerals match the heavy, irregular styling and hold up well as bold markers, though fine differentiation relies on the distinctive silhouettes rather than internal detail.
