A chunky, black display face built from irregular, angular forms with a hand-cut look. Strokes are blunt and low-contrast, with sharp wedges and asymmetric curves that create a restless rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are small and often oddly shaped (sometimes skewed or off-center), and terminals taper into pointed corners rather than smooth rounds. Overall spacing and letter widths feel intentionally inconsistent, giving the text a lively, jittery texture even in short words.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and short phrases where personality matters more than smooth reading flow. It can work well for entertainment branding, event graphics, game/UI titles, album art, and packaging that wants a handmade, quirky punch.
The font reads as mischievous and offbeat, with a slightly eerie, campy energy. Its rough, improvised geometry suggests handmade signage, cartoon title cards, or playful horror/comedy aesthetics rather than polished editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an intentionally imperfect, one-off voice—evoking cut-paper or carved-letter shapes—so designers can inject humor, oddness, and high-impact texture into display typography.
The most distinctive trait is the repeated use of chiseled wedges and irregular interior cutouts, which makes the silhouette highly recognizable at display sizes. At smaller sizes the tight counters and busy shapes may reduce clarity, so it benefits from generous sizing and simple color contrast.
