A chunky, ink-heavy display face with compact proportions and an intentionally irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, but with subtle, organic swelling and pinched joints that create a lively rhythm. Terminals are blunt and ragged, with torn-looking edges and occasional nicks that make counters and apertures feel carved rather than drawn with clean geometry. Spacing appears slightly uneven in a natural way, and the overall texture reads dense and high-impact, especially in all caps.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and cover titles where the rough texture can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for themed applications—Halloween, spooky-comedy, DIY craft branding, or energetic event promotions—and can add personality to labels and packaging that want a handmade, stamped look.
The font projects a mischievous, slightly eerie energy—like DIY poster lettering or a playful horror title. Its roughened edges and heavy color give it a rebellious, handmade attitude, while the rounded, bouncy forms keep it approachable rather than severe. The overall tone is attention-grabbing and characterful, with a crafted imperfection that feels intentional.
The design appears intended to mimic bold hand-printed lettering with a distressed, cut-paper or ink-stamped texture. Its compact, weighty shapes prioritize immediate visual presence and a memorable silhouette over neutrality, aiming to deliver a fun, slightly gritty display voice.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and emphatic, while lowercase introduces more bounce and variety, adding to the hand-rendered impression. Numerals match the same rugged, cutout-like treatment, maintaining consistent texture across the set. In longer text the dense stroke weight creates a strong black footprint, so line spacing and size become important for clarity.
