A chunky, irregular display face with heavy, blocklike strokes and uneven, hand-cut contours. Letterforms are built from blunt angular facets with occasional soft rounding, creating a carved, slightly wobbly edge quality rather than clean geometry. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with a bouncy baseline and inconsistent widths that reinforce an improvised, cut-paper feel. Counters are small and often asymmetric, and terminals tend to end in abrupt, chiseled shapes.
Best used at larger sizes where the jagged contours and irregular widths can be appreciated. It works well for posters, playful branding, game or entertainment titles, kids-oriented materials, and packaging that benefits from a quirky, handcrafted voice. For longer passages, it’s more effective in short bursts—headlines, pull quotes, and display lines—than in dense body text.
The overall tone is mischievous and lighthearted, with a deliberately clumsy, off-kilter rhythm that reads as humorous and energetic. It evokes a DIY, zany personality suited to playful storytelling, spooky-fun themes, and comic exaggeration rather than refinement.
Designed to look intentionally imperfect and expressive, prioritizing personality and impact over typographic neutrality. The irregular geometry and rough-cut edges suggest a one-off, hand-shaped construction meant to feel lively, oddball, and immediately recognizable.
The all-caps set appears especially punchy and emblematic, while lowercase maintains the same irregular construction for a cohesive, characterful texture. Numerals match the faceted, handmade language and keep the same bold, attention-grabbing presence.
