A chunky display face built from irregular, torn-looking silhouettes with blunt terminals and heavily textured edges. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, but the contours wobble and dimple, creating a cutout or stamped impression rather than smooth curves. Counters are small and sometimes pinched, and the glyphs show uneven internal geometry and inconsistent joins that emphasize a handmade, distressed construction. Spacing and widths vary noticeably, adding a bouncy rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and event flyers where texture can do expressive work. It also fits title treatments for playful horror, quirky editorial, themed parties, or entertainment branding, especially when set at larger sizes with generous leading.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a slightly eerie, comic edge. Its rough, torn-paper texture reads as intentionally imperfect and energetic, evoking DIY posters, playful horror, and campy, theatrical signage.
The design appears intended to deliver instant character through exaggerated weight and intentionally ragged contours, prioritizing visual attitude over typographic neutrality. Its variable silhouettes and rough edge treatment suggest a deliberate “worn cutout” look aimed at expressive display typography.
Capitals carry the strongest personality with jagged shoulders and chiseled bowls, while lowercase forms remain compact and blocky, keeping the texture consistent across cases. Numerals match the same cutout ruggedness, making the set feel cohesive as a display system rather than a neutral text face.
