A heavy, upright display face with irregular, hand-drawn outlines and pronounced internal cutouts that create a hollowed, mottled texture. Strokes swell and pinch unpredictably, producing high-contrast black masses against lighter carved voids; edges appear wavy and slightly jagged rather than geometric. Letter widths vary noticeably, with compact forms alongside wider, more open shapes, giving the line a lively, uneven rhythm. Counters and bowls are frequently interrupted by blob-like knockouts, and terminals tend to look chipped or eroded, reinforcing the distressed silhouette.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing display settings such as posters, headlines, event promos, and bold packaging where the cutout texture can read clearly. It also fits themed applications—especially playful horror, oddball, or retro-grunge aesthetics—on album art, titles, and graphic merch.
The overall tone feels mischievous and slightly eerie, like inked lettering that has been weathered, carved, or masked with stencils gone wrong. Its bouncy irregularity reads as playful and handmade, while the dark weight and hollow texture add a spooky, lo-fi edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold display voice with characterful imperfections, using irregular outlines and internal knockouts to create instant texture and atmosphere. It prioritizes expressive pattern and mood over neutral readability, aiming to look handmade and deliberately distressed.
The font’s texture is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, so blocks of text carry a strong patterning of light-through-dark cutouts. At smaller sizes the interior knockouts may visually merge, while at larger sizes they become a prominent decorative feature.
