A heavy, all-solid display face with irregular, chiseled silhouettes and visibly torn-looking contours. Strokes are thick and compact with rounded masses broken by abrupt nicks and bite-like notches, giving each glyph a rough, carved profile. Counters largely collapse into the filled shapes, while letterforms remain broadly recognizable through simplified geometry, wide bowls, and short, blocky terminals. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing an intentionally uneven rhythm and a slightly jumpy baseline impression in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, album/mixtape graphics, or punchy packaging. It can work as a thematic accent for playful spooky, grunge, or DIY visuals, especially when paired with a calmer companion for body copy.
The font reads loud and mischievous, with a distressed, cut-out energy that feels more like a prop or stencil gone rough than a polished typographic system. Its chunky silhouettes and ragged edges create a comedic-horror or punk zine tone—bold, attention-seeking, and a bit chaotic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through solid, ink-heavy forms while adding character via irregular, torn contours. It aims for an expressive, handmade look that prioritizes attitude and texture over typographic refinement, making it ideal for novelty display applications.
In continuous text, the dense black color and collapsed interior spaces create strong impact but reduce interior differentiation in letters that typically rely on counters. The personality comes primarily from the perimeter texture, so size and spacing choices will strongly affect how much of the rough detailing remains visible.
