A heavy, angular display face with jagged, hand-cut contours and an intentionally irregular rhythm. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, but edges break into sharp facets, notches, and wedge-like terminals that give each glyph a carved, shattered silhouette. Counters tend to be small and geometric, and several letters show uneven proportions and quirky construction (including occasional asymmetry and kinked joins), reinforcing a handmade, one-off feel. Spacing and letterfit read as lively rather than strict, with shapes that visually wobble from glyph to glyph while remaining broadly consistent in weight and texture.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, event titles, game or film headings, packaging callouts, and themed graphics—especially where a playful-spooky or zany vibe is desired. It will be most effective at larger sizes where the sharp notches and irregular edges can read clearly.
The overall tone is raucous and mischievous, with a lightly sinister, Halloween-adjacent energy. Its spiky, cut-paper texture evokes cartoon monster titles, haunted-house signage, and playful horror rather than formal blackletter seriousness.
The design appears intended to deliver a loud, decorative impact through exaggerated weight and irregular, chiseled outlines, prioritizing personality and texture over typographic neutrality. The consistent faceted edge treatment suggests a deliberate “cut-out” or “carved” motif meant to feel energetic and a bit unruly.
The font’s texture is driven more by faceting and torn-looking edges than by calligraphic stress, producing a bold, poster-friendly color. Uppercase and lowercase share the same jagged language, and the numerals follow suit with chunky, angular forms that keep the set cohesive.
