A jagged, angular display face with irregular stroke endings and subtly inconsistent geometry across glyphs. Strokes feel drawn or carved rather than constructed, with occasional flared terminals, hooked corners, and slightly wavering verticals. Counters are narrow and squarish, and many letters use straight segments that break into sharp bends, creating a fractured rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and emphatic, while lowercase keeps a similarly narrow, upright skeleton with distinctive, sometimes asymmetric joins and simplified bowls.
Best suited to short display settings where its irregular rhythm becomes a feature: posters, headlines, packaging accents, game or event titles, and cover typography. It can also work for pull quotes or branding marks that benefit from a deliberately odd, handcrafted personality, but it’s less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is eccentric and mischievous, like a deliberately rough, theatrical lettering style. Its uneven edges and tense angles give it a slightly spooky, punky energy while still reading as playful rather than aggressive. It suggests handmade signage, oddball titles, and stylized “found” lettering.
This font appears designed to emulate an intentionally imperfect, hand-rendered look with sharp, cut-in angles and varied terminals, prioritizing personality over uniformity. The goal seems to be a distinctive, one-off display voice that feels crafted and slightly chaotic while remaining legible in larger sizes.
Spacing appears uneven by design, contributing to a jittery texture in lines of text. Numerals follow the same angular, cutout-like logic, and the punctuation visible in the sample (e.g., apostrophe and ampersand) matches the sharp, hand-drawn character of the alphabet.
