A compact, heavy display face with hand-cut irregularity and a slightly uneven rhythm. Strokes are blocky and angular with frequent wedge-like terminals and notched corners, creating a subtly chiseled silhouette. Curves are faceted rather than smooth, counters stay relatively small, and letter widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, cut-paper feel. The lowercase is simple and sturdy with a straightforward single-storey structure where applicable, and numerals follow the same rugged, carved logic.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, packaging fronts, book or chapter titles, and playful game or event graphics. It can also work for labels and signage where a quirky handcrafted voice is desired, especially when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is mischievous and offbeat, like lettering cut with a pocketknife for a prop, poster, or title card. Its lively inconsistencies and sharp edges project a humorous, slightly spooky storybook energy rather than a polished modern voice.
This design appears intended to mimic improvised hand lettering with a carved or cut-out construction, prioritizing personality and texture over strict regularity. The goal is an attention-grabbing display style that feels human, slightly chaotic, and memorable.
The alphabet shows consistent angular construction across rounds (C, O, G) and diagonals (K, V, W, X), with deliberate asymmetries that add character. The design reads best when the rough edges can stay visible; at smaller sizes the interior spaces and notches may visually fill in.
