A chunky display face with irregular, hand-cut-looking contours and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes are heavy with subtly wavering edges and occasional pinched or flared corners, giving the letterforms a soft, blobby silhouette rather than crisp geometry. Counters tend to be small and often angular, and the baseline and cap-line feel optically “wobbly” due to varied sidebearings and inconsistent widths across glyphs. Overall spacing and proportions are intentionally inconsistent, reinforcing a playful, one-off look.
Best suited for short display settings where personality is the priority: posters, headlines, event flyers, playful packaging, and title treatments. It can also work well for Halloween or novelty-themed graphics, logos, and attention-grabbing signage where an intentionally uneven texture helps the message feel animated and informal.
The font projects a mischievous, tongue-in-cheek tone—part cartoon, part haunted-house signage. Its bouncy shapes and warped details feel energetic and humorous, with a slightly eerie edge that suits campy or macabre themes without becoming truly sinister.
The design appears intended to mimic an imperfect, handmade cutout style—favoring character and motion over typographic neutrality. Its irregular widths, wavy silhouettes, and compact counters aim to create a bold, memorable texture that reads as fun, quirky, and slightly spooky.
The distinctive irregularity is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive texture in blocks of text. The dot on i/j is chunky and prominent, and many forms show slight internal notches or faceted cuts that enhance the cutout/poster feel.
