A heavy, chunky display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and a distinctly hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, but edges wobble and notch in unpredictable ways, creating constant micro-variation in counters and terminals. The letterforms keep a broadly upright, blocky structure, while widths and internal shapes fluctuate from glyph to glyph; counters tend to be small and angular, and joins feel carved rather than drawn. Overall spacing reads slightly uneven, contributing to a lively, broken rhythm in text.
Works best at larger sizes where the rough perimeter and carved counters can be appreciated—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, event promos, and title treatments. It’s well suited to seasonal horror/comedy themes, indie game graphics, zines, and music artwork where a distressed, handmade voice is desirable.
The texture and distressed silhouettes give it a mischievous, slightly spooky energy—more comic and crafty than aggressive. It feels like cut paper, stamped rubber, or a DIY poster, lending an offbeat, wacky tone that reads as intentionally imperfect and attention-seeking.
Designed to deliver instant character through intentionally ragged outlines and a cutout-like construction, prioritizing texture and personality over smooth refinement. The goal appears to be an expressive, decorative voice that feels handmade and slightly chaotic while remaining legible in short bursts.
Round forms (like O and 0) appear more faceted and cratered than smooth, and many characters show abrupt bite-like notches that create a flicker in longer lines. The distressed edges are consistent enough to read as a deliberate system, but the per-glyph irregularity stays prominent, making it best treated as a display texture rather than a neutral text face.
