A chunky display face built from irregular, angular strokes with a cut-paper/brushy silhouette. Counters are small and sometimes pinched, with uneven curves and faceted corners that create a chiseled look. Stroke endings taper and flick in different directions, producing a lively, inconsistent edge rhythm. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, with bouncy widths and slightly wandering shapes that keep the texture energetic in lines of text.
Best used in short, high-impact settings such as posters, display headlines, packaging callouts, and expressive book or game covers. It can add personality to event flyers or social graphics where an intentionally rough, quirky voice is desired.
The overall tone is mischievous and slightly eerie, like hand-lettering made for a comic horror title card or a DIY poster. Its rough, flicked terminals and jagged geometry give it a kinetic, “made-by-hand” attitude that reads as fun rather than formal.
The design appears intended to mimic spontaneous, hand-cut or brush-drawn lettering while keeping a cohesive, bold mass on the page. Its primary goal is character and texture—creating an expressive, offbeat word shape rather than a neutral reading face.
Legibility remains workable at headline sizes, but the irregular contours and tight apertures make it less suitable for long passages. The numerals and capitals carry especially strong character, with pointed joins and varied internal shapes that emphasize the handmade, one-off feel.
