A compact, heavy display face with jagged, hand-cut contours and irregular stroke edges. Letters are built from angular segments with occasional wedge-like terminals and uneven joins, creating a carved or brush-notched silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters tend to be small and faceted, and the overall rhythm is lively, with subtle per-glyph width and shape variation that reads intentionally imperfect while remaining legible at display sizes.
Works best in headlines, posters, and short featured phrases where its uneven, notched shapes can be appreciated. It suits playful packaging, themed event flyers, and title treatments—especially where an energetic, hand-made feel is desirable. For longer passages, it’s most effective in brief blocks or larger sizes to maintain clarity.
The tone is mischievous and eccentric, with a fantasy-tinged, storybook energy. Its roughened geometry suggests hand-crafted signage or a stylized “carved” look, giving text a spirited, slightly chaotic personality that feels more theatrical than formal.
Likely designed to deliver a one-off, characterful texture: bold shapes with intentionally irregular, chiseled edges that add personality without collapsing into illegibility. The consistent angular motif across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests an emphasis on cohesive display impact rather than typographic neutrality.
Uppercase forms lean toward sharp, emblem-like construction, while lowercase keeps the same angular language with a bouncy texture in running text. Numerals follow the same faceted, cutout logic, helping headlines and short bursts of copy feel cohesive across letters and figures.
