A heavy, block-built sans with angular, cut-paper contours and intentionally uneven geometry. Strokes stay largely monolinear, while terminals and corners shift between sharp chamfers and abrupt notches that create a hand-carved feel. Proportions are compact and tall, with small counters and occasional asymmetries that make each glyph feel slightly tilted or squeezed. The alphabet maintains a consistent overall rhythm, but individual letters vary in width and internal shapes, emphasizing a lively, irregular texture in words and lines.
Works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging callouts, and event flyers where its irregular shapes can be appreciated. It is especially effective for entertainment, seasonal themes, and stylized signage that benefits from a bold, characterful texture.
The style reads as mischievous and theatrical, with a cartoon-horror edge and a DIY poster sensibility. Its uneven stance and chunky silhouettes give it an energetic, attention-grabbing voice suited to playful or spooky messaging rather than refined neutrality.
Designed to deliver maximum personality through chunky, angular letterforms and controlled irregularity, creating a handmade display look that stays readable while feeling deliberately off-kilter and expressive.
Round forms are simplified into squared, faceted shapes, and several glyphs use cut-in counters or inset notches that add visual bite at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same chunky, condensed stance, keeping headlines cohesive and punchy.
