A heavy, blocky sans with uneven, hand-cut contours and subtly wavering verticals that create an intentionally irregular silhouette. Bowls and counters are compact and slightly misshapen, with frequent nicks and flat spots along the perimeter that read like carved or stamped letterforms. Stroke endings are blunt rather than crisp, and spacing feels lively and inconsistent in a controlled way, producing a textured rhythm across words and lines. The numerals match the same chunky, carved look, with simplified shapes and robust interiors.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event flyers, and playful branding where texture and personality are desired. It can also work for packaging or labels that want a handmade, rustic feel, especially when paired with a quieter companion typeface.
The overall tone is mischievous and theatrical—more handmade than industrial—suggesting craft signage, folk ephemera, and light horror or Halloween energy. Its deliberate roughness gives it a loud, humorous voice that feels informal and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-cut or stamped lettering—prioritizing character and surface texture over strict geometric regularity. Its bold presence and irregular edges are aimed at grabbing attention and conveying a crafted, slightly spooky or whimsical mood.
At text sizes, the dense weight and ragged edges create a dark color on the page; it benefits from generous line spacing and simpler layouts. The most distinctive character comes from the irregular outer contour and slightly shifting widths, which produce a bouncy, improvised cadence in headlines.
