A condensed, heavy display face with jagged, hand-cut contours and uneven silhouettes. Stems are mostly straight and upright, but edges wobble and corners break into nicks and notches, creating a distressed, cut-paper/linocut feel. Counters are compact and sometimes asymmetrical, with occasional pinched apertures and blunt terminals that keep the texture loud and graphic. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the hand-made rhythm while staying coherent in blocky, headline-sized settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, cover art, event flyers, and packaging or labels that benefit from a rugged, hand-rendered voice. It works well when you want a bold graphic impression and can give it enough size and breathing room for the irregular contours to read clearly.
The overall tone is mischievous and high-energy, like lettering for a spooky-fun poster or a punky zine. Its rough, chipped shapes read as intentionally imperfect and expressive, suggesting craft, grit, and a bit of chaos rather than polish or formality.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-drawn, roughly carved lettering—prioritizing personality and texture over smooth precision. Its condensed proportions and strong black shapes aim for immediate attention in display contexts, while the deliberate roughness adds an energetic, informal character.
The texture becomes a key feature at larger sizes, where the chiseled edges and uneven cuts are clearly visible; at smaller sizes that same texture can make interior spaces feel tight. The numerals and capitals carry especially strong, poster-like massing, while the lowercase maintains the same rugged construction with simplified forms.
