A jagged, hand-cut display face with angular strokes and uneven contours that feel like paper shapes or marker-drawn facets. Letterforms are broadly upright but intentionally inconsistent in width and stance, with wobbly baselines, irregular counters, and occasional exaggerated terminals and hooks. Corners are sharp and chiseled rather than rounded, and the overall rhythm is lumpy and lively, prioritizing character over typographic regularity. Figures follow the same cutout logic, with asymmetrical shapes and varied proportions that read clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited for short display settings such as posters, event titles, spooky-season graphics, playful packaging, game UI headings, and comic-style callouts. It works well when you want a loud, characterful texture and have room for generous sizing and spacing; it is less suited to long-form reading or small text where the irregular rhythm can reduce clarity.
The font conveys a mischievous, slightly eerie energy—playful and cartoony, but with a scratchy, quirky edge. Its irregularity gives it a DIY, zine-like personality that feels theatrical and expressive rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic an improvised, cut-and-paste or hand-drawn aesthetic, using deliberate inconsistencies and sharp geometry to create a one-off, expressive voice. It aims for immediate personality and dramatic texture in headlines rather than typographic neutrality.
Capitals tend to be bold silhouettes with distinctive notches and slanted joins, while lowercase forms keep a simplified, handwritten structure with uneven bowls and stems. The texture across a line of text is highly varied, creating a strong visual pattern that can become busy in dense setting.
