A chunky, all-caps-forward display face with deliberately irregular outlines and uneven stroke edges that mimic cut paper or rough inking. Forms are mostly monoline in spirit but with visible wobble and small nicks that create a lively, broken perimeter. Corners tend to be blunt and angular, counters are compact, and many glyphs show slightly asymmetric construction, giving the alphabet a handcrafted rhythm. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from letter to letter, reinforcing the offbeat, homemade texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to posters, headlines, packaging accents, and title treatments where an irregular, handmade look is an asset. It works well for playful horror, indie, DIY, or zine-like aesthetics, and for short bursts of copy such as logos, labels, or pull quotes rather than long reading passages.
The overall tone is wacky and mischievous, with a DIY, low-fi energy that feels more like a prop or poster lettering than a conventional text face. Its rough edges and inconsistent contours add character and humor, suggesting something spooky-fun or punky rather than polished or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a one-off, characterful display voice by embracing inconsistency—rough edges, uneven stroke behavior, and variable widths—to create a lively, handcrafted texture. It prioritizes personality and visual punch over neutrality, aiming to look intentionally imperfect and attention-grabbing.
Legibility holds up best at display sizes where the jagged contours read as intentional texture; at smaller sizes the roughness can visually fill in counters and soften letter differentiation. Numerals match the same cutout-like construction, keeping the set cohesive for short, attention-grabbing uses.
