A heavy, all-caps-and-lowercase display face with blunt, chiseled contours and frequent sharp cuts that create an intentionally uneven rhythm. Letterforms are mostly upright with sturdy verticals and broad, simplified bowls, but edges are interrupted by irregular nicks, wedges, and small internal breaks that read like cracks or scuffs. Curves are often flattened or faceted, and terminals tend to end in abrupt angles rather than smooth finishing. Figures follow the same chunky build, with simplified counters and occasional notches that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing text such as posters, punchy headlines, game or video titles, and packaging where a quirky, roughened personality is desirable. It performs most clearly at display sizes where the jagged cuts and chipped details can be read as intentional texture.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, with a DIY, slightly destructive texture that feels energetic rather than refined. Its rough interruptions and chunky silhouettes suggest a comic, spooky, or prankster attitude—more “wacky poster” than “polished branding.”
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, humorous display voice by combining sturdy, simplified proportions with irregular carving-like interruptions. It prioritizes character and impact over smooth refinement, aiming for a one-off, decorative look that stands out immediately.
The distressing is integrated into the shapes (not just an overlay), so the texture becomes part of each glyph’s structure. The result is a strong silhouette at larger sizes, but the small cuts and inner fractures can visually merge or clog as size decreases, especially in tighter counters.
