A heavy, angular display face with blocky silhouettes and deliberately roughened edges. Strokes read as broadly consistent in thickness, with abrupt corners, uneven terminals, and small notches that give each character a cut-out, distressed finish. Counters tend toward squarish forms, curves are simplified into facets, and spacing feels irregular, producing a jumpy rhythm across words. Capitals are tall and emphatic, while lowercase forms keep a compact, utilitarian structure with similarly jagged detailing.
Best suited to short display lines where the jagged detailing can be appreciated: posters, title cards, packaging, and entertainment graphics. It also fits playful-spooky branding and game/stream overlays where a rough, handmade impact is desired. For longer paragraphs, generous size and spacing help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is mischievous and slightly menacing, like handcrafted signage for a haunted attraction or an offbeat comic title. Its rough contours and uneven geometry suggest energy, noise, and intentional imperfection rather than polish or restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, handcrafted effect through angular construction and purposeful edge damage, creating a quirky, slightly eerie display voice that stands out immediately. Its irregular rhythm and cut-paper texture prioritize character and attitude over typographic neutrality.
In text settings, the distressed perimeter texture is a dominant feature; at smaller sizes the internal nicks and sharp corners can visually merge, increasing density. Numerals follow the same squared, rugged logic, helping the font maintain a consistent voice across mixed copy.
