A jagged, faceted display face with chunky, compact letterforms and a deliberately uneven rhythm. Strokes appear cut from flat slabs, with abrupt corners, notched joins, and occasional wedge-like terminals that create a chiseled silhouette. Counters are small and angular, and the overall texture is dense, with slight inconsistencies in width and contour that read as intentional rather than accidental. Numerals and capitals maintain the same cut-paper geometry, giving the set a cohesive, poster-ready voice.
Best suited to display work such as posters, headlines, album art, packaging, and expressive branding where a distinctive, handmade texture is desirable. It can work for short bursts of copy—taglines, pull quotes, or signage—when set large enough to preserve the inner shapes.
The tone is mischievous and offbeat—part spooky storybook, part vintage carnival sign. Its rough-hewn edges and quirky proportions add personality and a hint of humor, making text feel lively and slightly chaotic without becoming illegible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to mimic a hand-cut or carved construction, prioritizing character and silhouette over typographic neutrality. Its controlled irregularity suggests a one-off, decorative voice meant to add instant flavor to titles and thematic graphics.
Word shapes are strong and attention-grabbing, but the irregular edges and tight counters can fill in at smaller sizes, so it benefits from generous sizing and breathing room. The mix of sharp cuts and occasional softened bulges keeps the texture animated across longer lines.
