A chunky, heavy display face with uneven, torn-looking contours and inconsistent stroke edges that feel cut or ripped rather than smoothly drawn. Forms are mostly blocky and compact with a tall lowercase presence, while counters are small and irregular, often appearing as punched holes. Width varies noticeably from glyph to glyph, giving the line a bouncy rhythm, and terminals tend to end in blunt, broken shapes. Overall spacing feels sturdy and dense, with a deliberately rough silhouette that reads best at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, event flyers, and title cards where the rough silhouette can be appreciated. It also works well for playful branding moments or entertainment contexts (games, comics, Halloween-style graphics) when used at display sizes with generous spacing.
The font conveys a loud, mischievous energy—more handmade and unruly than refined. Its rough, distressed outlines and bulbous shapes create a playful, slightly chaotic tone that can feel comic, spooky, or punk depending on context.
The design intent reads as a bold, attention-grabbing novelty face that prioritizes character over polish. By combining heavy mass with deliberately ragged edges and uneven widths, it aims to mimic a handmade cutout/rough-stamped feel that adds personality and motion to simple words.
The irregularity appears intentional and consistent across the set, with repeated jagged nicks and wobble that produce a textured edge even in solid black. Numerals match the same rugged, cutout construction, keeping the overall color and impact consistent in mixed text.
