A compact, heavy display face with choppy, irregular contours and a distinctly hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are mostly straight and angular, with occasional wedge-like terminals and small nicks that create a roughened edge profile. Counters tend to be tight and simplified, while curves (notably in O, Q, and 8) feel slightly faceted rather than smooth. The lowercase is sturdy and upright with a fairly regular x-height, but width and internal shapes vary from letter to letter, producing an intentionally uneven rhythm in text.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as posters, cover art, packaging, event flyers, and playful title cards where texture and personality are desirable. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes, but the irregular rhythm and tight counters make it less comfortable for sustained small-size reading.
The overall tone is wacky and mischievous, with a DIY, cut-paper energy that reads as humorous rather than refined. Its irregularities feel deliberate and theatrical, lending a slightly spooky-carnival or offbeat comic flavor when set in phrases or headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, characterful voice through controlled irregularity—combining a compact, punchy build with hand-made roughness to stand out in display typography. Its faceted curves and varied letter widths suggest an emphasis on novelty and humor over neutrality or strict consistency.
Capitals present as strong, poster-like blocks, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic forms and occasional asymmetry, increasing the sense of personality in longer lines. Numerals are similarly stylized, with heavy weight and quirky cut-ins that keep them visually consistent with the alphabet.
