A heavy, right-leaning display face with chunky, sculpted forms and dramatic, jagged edge cuts that read like torn paper or serrated shadows. Strokes are thick and assertive with sharp notches and bite marks along the sides, while counters stay relatively compact, boosting the inked-in silhouette. The letterforms mix soft bulges with pointed terminals, creating an irregular rhythm; widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, and curves often end in hooked, blade-like tips. Numerals and caps maintain the same aggressive texturing, keeping the overall texture dense and visually loud.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and title cards where the jagged contouring can be appreciated. It fits playful-spooky or comedic-horror themes well—party promotions, seasonal graphics, game or stream titles, and novelty branding—while longer body text or small UI labels may lose clarity due to the dense texture.
The font projects a mischievous, slightly menacing energy—part cartoon horror, part retro poster shock. Its serrated contours and slanted stance give it a sense of motion and unpredictability, making it feel loud, cheeky, and attention-seeking rather than formal or restrained.
The design appears intended to deliver instant personality through a bold, slanted silhouette and deliberately roughened edges, prioritizing attitude and display impact over neutrality. Its irregular side cuts and swashy terminals suggest a goal of evoking motion, bite, and theatrical drama for expressive, theme-driven typography.
In the sample text, the aggressive edge texture becomes a strong horizontal shimmer, especially where many letters share similar side notches. Spacing appears intentionally uneven to support the irregular character, and the heavy weight can cause smaller internal spaces to close up at reduced sizes.
