This typeface is a stylized sans with sharp, tapered terminals and pronounced stroke modulation that creates a cut-paper or brush-knife feel. Letterforms lean on open curves and simplified construction, but with frequent wedge-like flicks, notches, and pointed joins that interrupt the rhythm. Counters are generally generous in rounded forms, while verticals and diagonals often finish in needle points, giving many glyphs a slightly feral silhouette. Proportions vary noticeably from character to character, and the overall spacing and widths create a lively, uneven texture in text.
It works best for display typography where character and texture are desirable—such as posters, title treatments, book or game covers, packaging, and distinctive branding headlines. Short phrases, pull quotes, and large-size wordmarks benefit most from its sharp terminals and varied silhouettes.
The tone is playful yet aggressive, combining a whimsical, storybook energy with a slightly menacing, horror-adjacent edge. Its sharp terminals and irregular rhythm suggest motion and personality, making the text feel animated rather than neutral. Overall it reads as expressive and theatrical, suited to attention-grabbing display use.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, hand-made display voice within a sans framework, emphasizing dramatic terminals and irregular rhythm to stand out in headlines. Its construction prioritizes personality and impact over neutral readability, aiming for a memorable, expressive presence.
In the sample text, the spiky terminals and intermittent ink-trap-like cuts become more prominent at larger sizes, while smaller sizes may look busy due to the frequent pointed details. Numerals follow the same cut and taper logic, keeping the set visually consistent with the caps and lowercase.
