A quirky, display-oriented roman with uneven, hand-drawn construction and noticeably irregular rhythm. Strokes are thick and dark with frequent internal knockouts and cut-in holes that create a hollowed, distressed texture through both straight stems and curved bowls. Terminals and joins are sharp and slightly wobbly, with inconsistent edge geometry that reads like marker or brush outlines trimmed by rough cuts. Counters stay mostly open but are often interrupted by interior cutouts, producing a high-impact silhouette that remains legible at larger sizes while feeling intentionally raw.
Best suited to headlines and short copy where the textured knockouts can read clearly—posters, event flyers, packaging, album/cover art, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for themed pull quotes or section headers in editorial layouts when a deliberately rough, playful voice is desired.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, mixing a playful cartoon energy with a lightly eerie, haunted-poster feel. Its rough hollowing and jittery outlines suggest handmade craft, punk zine collage, or Halloween-style theatrics rather than refinement or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display face with a handmade, cutout texture—combining familiar roman letter structures with irregular interior hollows to add character and a crafted, slightly spooky edge.
Uppercase forms carry the strongest presence, with bold, angular structures and emphatic diagonals, while lowercase appears more compact and simplified, enhancing the informal, sketch-like impression. Numerals and punctuation continue the same carved-out texture, helping blocks of text feel consistently distressed rather than sporadically worn.
