A lively display face with flared, wedge-like terminals and an uneven, hand-cut rhythm. Strokes swing between thick bodies and sharp, tapered ends, creating a chiseled silhouette with occasional spur-like protrusions. Letters lean and wobble subtly, with variable character widths and idiosyncratic curves that keep spacing and texture intentionally irregular. Counters tend to be open and rounded, while joins and arms often finish in pointed, blade-like tips; numerals follow the same animated, cut-paper logic.
Best used for short to medium-length display settings such as posters, splashy headlines, book or game covers, event flyers, packaging, and whimsical branding. It can add character to pull quotes and title treatments, especially where an offbeat, handcrafted feel is desired.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical, with a slightly antique, storybook flavor. Its irregularities read as intentional personality rather than roughness, giving text a wink-and-nudge energy suited to humorous or fantastical themes.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-of-a-kind, characterful voice through irregular outlines, dramatic flares, and a playful slant—prioritizing expressiveness and memorable texture over strict regularity.
In the sample text, the strong black mass and sharp terminals create a dense, high-impact color on the page; the lively shapes are most comfortable at larger sizes where the quirky details and uneven rhythm can be appreciated. Round letters like O and Q feel especially buoyant, and the set maintains a consistent, cut-and-flare motif across caps, lowercase, and figures.
